Crow-Eating Time

Seth Davis, who said he had "informed speculation" suggesting that Jason Williams was coming out, despite his saying he was coming back, and despite his mother's absolutely firm denial, has a lunch date today. Unfortunately, since Mrs. Williams has declined his invitation, Seth will have to eat crow alone, as the final day to declare was yesterday, and Jason was true to his word, as we were sure he would be.

We had hoped to do a lot more to commemorate the occasion, but didn't have the time. However, maybe Seth will be kind enough to post an admission that he was wrong, and informed speculation doesn't exactly constitute a source.

Fortunately, though, one of our loyal readers, Mark Logan, has artfully and brilliantly penned the following poem which he posted on the bulletin board. With apologies to Theodor Geisel and thanks to Mark Logan, we repeat it here:

The Taste of Crow
by Mark Logan

J-Will will go.
I’m Seth. I know.

Hey, Seth-I-Know.
Hey, Seth-I-Know!
It looks like J-Will did not go.

Would you like to eat some crow?

I can’t believe it. Why wouldn’t he go?
I do want to eat my crow.

Would you like it here or there?

I would not like it here or there.
I would not like it anywhere.
I do not like the taste of crow.
I can’t believe he didn’t go.

Would you like it in the Summer?
Would you like it with DevilMomma?

I would not like it with Summer.
I would not like it with DevilMomma?
I would not like it here or there.
I would not like it anywhere.
I do not like the taste of crow.
I can’t believe he didn’t go.

Would you like it here with Boozer?
Or are you just too sore a loser?

Not with Boozer.
And I’m not a loser!
Not with DevilMomma.
Not in the Summer.
I would not like it here or there.
I would not like it anywhere.
I do not like the taste of crow.
I can’t believe he didn’t go.

Would you? Could you? Here at Duke?
Eat it! Eat it! Hope you puke.

I would not, could not here at Duke.

You may like it. You will see.
You may like it at UNC.

I would not at UNC.
I would not, could not at UNC.
Not at Duke. You let me be!

I do not like them with Carlos Boozer.
Please quit calling me a loser.
I do not like them in the Summer.
I do not like them with DevilMomma.
I would not like it here or there.
I would not like it anywhere.
I do not like the taste of crow.
I can’t believe he didn’t go.

The Net! The Net! The Net! The Net!
Could you, would you on the Net!

Not on the Net! Not at Duke!
Not at UNC! You’ll make me puke!
I would not, could not with Carlos Boozer.
It’s just not fair! I’m not a loser!
I will not eat it with DevilMomma.
I will not eat it in the Summer.
I would not like it here or there.
I would not like it anywhere.
I do not like the taste of crow.

Say! Coach K?
With Coach K?
Would you, could you with Coach K?

I would not, could not with Coach K.

Come on, admit it, you lost the bet!

I won’t admit I lost the bet!
Not with Coach K. Not on the Net.
Not at UNC. Not at Duke.
Don’t make me eat it. Don’t make me puke.
Not with Boozer. I’m not a loser!
Not with DevilMomma. Not this Summer.
I will not eat it here or there.
I do not like it anywhere!

You do not like the taste of crow?

I do not like it. I’m Seth. I know.

Would you, could you with Dickie V?

I would not, could not with Dickie V?

Would you, could you on TV?

I could not, would not on TV.
I will not, will not with Dickie V.
I won’t admit I lost the bet.
I will not eat it on the Net.
Not with Coach K. Not at Duke.
Not at UNC. Don’t make me puke!
I do not like it with Carlos Boozer.
I do not like being a big loser.
I do not like it with DevilMomma.
I do not like it in the Summer.
I do not like it here or there.
I do not like it anywhere.

I do not like the taste of crow!
I can’t believe he didn’t go!

You do not like it, so you say.
Try it! Try it!
And you may.
Try it and you may, I say.

OK! If you will let me be,
I will try it. You will see.

Say!
I like the taste of crow!
I do!! I like it! I like it so!
And I would eat it with Dickie V.
And I would eat it on TV.
And I will eat it on the Net.
And with Coach K. OK, I lost the bet.
And at Duke, and at UNC.
It is so good, so good, you see!

So I will eat it with Carlos Boozer.
And he can call me a lousy loser.
And I will eat it with Althea.
(forget it, Seth, she’ll never see ya)
And I will eat it here or there.
Say! I will eat it ANYWHERE!

I do so like the taste of crow!
I’m guess I’m glad he didn’t go!
