364.4 SMOOTS (AND ONE EAR) ~ Harvard Bridge

Words by Gwendolyn Soper   ©2005

End over end
Like a pancake a flippin’,
Poor Smoot was layed down
With a flop, flop, flop, flop.

They wanted to measure
The length of the bridge
With Smoot as a ruler,
As he drop, drop, drop, dropped.

The floppin’ and chalkin’
Began near Mem Drive,
By the end of the day
They could see Storrow near.

How long was this bridge?
Harvard Bridge, let’s be clear!
Three hundred sixty-four Smoots
(And one ear)!
