Attic Verse

At·tic:  adjective

1. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of Greece or of Athens.
2. ( often lowercase ) displaying simple elegance, incisive intelligence, and delicate wit. 

To all who seek, and all who follow:
Come! Welcome to the Arms of Colo!
Where Joy and Wit and Wine abound:
Whate'er you seek may here be found.
For here the Wisdom, here the Truth –
The veritas in vino still –
Here the smoke and sloping roof
To blow your mind and bang your skull;
And here the laughter, here the rhymes;
The songs that set the room aglow;
Here the best and warmest times
That life can offer you; and so:
To all the friends who share their lives,
I offer up the highest Fives;
And to our Host with wayward charms,
I raise this toast: The colo’s arms.
