Streakers @ Your Library

March 15, 2007 at 6:50 pm | In libraries | 3 Comments

Oregon is on the quarter system, so it’s finals week right now and lots of students are tucked in at the library doing their studying. Last night two young gentlemen let off some steam and entertained their peers by streaking down our spiral staircase and out the front of the building. I happened to be walking past the stairs at the moment they came down, so I had a front row seat for the action. To commemorate this special moment, I have composed a haiku:

Cupping your naughties
O, Knight Library streaker?
How modest you are!

UPDATE: while I like the randy tone and utter absurdity of “cupping your naughties,” others have felt differently. So, another stab at it:

Why is your sword sheathed
O, Knight Library streaker?
How modest you are!

  1. I’m dying! This is the best blog post in the history of blog posts. I’m still sorry you’re gone, but hearing about this *almost* makes up for it.

  2. I just can’t get over this! The word “streaker” cannot have appeared in print since at least 1976! What goofs!

    Will you be posting your haiku at the library entrance?

  3. Sarah, it’s too bad that there weren’t streakers at the grand opening of the GSU Learning Commons! That staircase screams for either streakers or a fashion show (maybe both at the same time).

    Clio, I like your idea of posting my haiku – maybe I can have it engraved on a plaque and put on the staircase, so students in the future will be able to partake of this historic moment.
