Vicious Verse Viles Candid Claverly Wall

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Claverly Hall's wall, long a vehicle for erudite expression and esoteric language, gave local literati a break this week with its first readable sentiment in several months, a limerick in plain English. Apparently scrawled in extreme haste in the dead of night, the limerick reads:

WHO EXPOUNDED THE MEANING OF MEANING.

IN THE LIMELIGHT HE BASKED 'TIL AT LAST HE WAS ASKED

THE MEANING OF MEANING OF MEANING.

Local academicians attribute the rhyme to an outbreak of deviationism by several young instructors in a major social science department.
