a witty josephian wrote this relatively bias poem, but nonetheless, hilarious. anyway, that special he's got c6 for clao. he's not from ri or sji, so this doesn't apply to him. but, acs has got an even worse reputation. sigh.
The Truth (taken from
glenn who took from his friend,
marcus)
A decade years or more ago;
Where my ancestors lived and roamed.
There lived two men of great renown;
Whose names are still well known.
Bold Raffles from Western shores;
Seeked trade routes thru Eastern doors.
St. John Baptist of noble Rheims;
But gave it up to bless and preach.
Both had a wish, a hope, a dream;
They hatched a daring plan.
To educate all yound minds;
Thus their schools began.
Now each of these schools;
Formed their own believe for each.
Both valued different virtues;
In the ones they had to teach.
Raffles snobbed and only accepted;
Those with a ready mind.
Where those of wit and learning;
Will always find their kind.
St. Joseph's ignored results;
Anyone worthy of admission.
Be you rich, able or poor;
As long as you've ambition.
Raffles taught them to be power-hungry;
Trained them to be strong.
They taught their students cunning means;
To be the best among the throng.
St. Joseph's valued different virtues;
In the ones they sought and heed.
They taught them to be helpful and kind;
To those that are in need.
Rafflesians were smart, intelligent, witty boys;
Who couldn't hold back their lust.
They then produced a plan to quench their desires;
And RGS came at last.
You might think all boys are like that;
But Josephians are pure at heart.
Their abstainence, chast and innocence;
Set them miles apart.
