8. ATTENTION SENIORS:
Amidst all the excitement of recent days
Bracket busters galore and no blue and maize
Circumference, diameter and pecan pies
More snow day homework than you did realize
Yet in all of this you did succeed
To pay your dues with great speed
Thank-you, Thank-you declare we
Our work so easy, hardly a word of plea
With dues mainly collected
Our itinerary is soon to be selected
No thrill so great have you enjoyed
It surely will leave none annoyed.
To our fine poet we bid farewell
He had some help he must tell
For AI assistance he did find
A way to bring dues before your mind
AI has its place to be sure
But in lieu of your homework it is no cure
Its use as your homework is strictly forbidden
Such AI misuse cannot be hidden
There is One who knows the heart
Under Whose careful eye we cannot depart
It is your calling, honest work to do
Obey your Master unto whom all glory is due.
