Academic Interpretation Of The Number 15 Seed

They said we did not have a chance

We would be off the floor no longer in the big dance

Placed number fifteen

What is that supposed to mean?

Be home by dinner

Famed favorite the winner

But we thought it through

To what was true

Strategies were made

Attitude was we were not going to simply fade

Instead get a better grade

Then being seeded as a destructive fiend

In this March madness dream

Which pits large against the small

Resulting in moving on or fall

If our fleeting fantasy hits the wall

Time to go back to the resident's hall

Or maybe studying with friends on the grassy mall

Which is not an awful activity during the springtime

Does not hurt to strengthen the mind

Goals to find

Preparing for life’s grind

And answers when in a bind

It is just another way to interpret learning

Asking should competition be concerning

Knowing this test

You are supposed to do your best

Cinderella slipper could be an annoying pest

Ruining bracket parties

No one has number fifteen except the one Alec really smarty

Who spent the weekend alone

Watching the unknown league final on their phone

Instead of doing library research

Pleasing the Monday morning professor sitting on their perch

Preparing students for tomorrow

And all the reality horrors

Take all this in

Go for the win

And when the day is done

Ask yourself ‘was it fun?’
