         a note to prospective students

​

A humble verse instead of introduction

Would be a breeze I thought. And I was sold

On the scheme of getting online action

With a promo sonnet. But I was trolled

By thoughts of what to say that prolonged it

Into chaos that felt almost chronic.

The sonnet that I wanted seemed disguised;

The iambs weren't horribly compromised!

And readers would seek the sign-up button...

But here it is.  This is what I have got.

I hope you're convinced to give it a shot.

Perhaps, like me, you'll turn into a glutton

Of expressing the contents of your mind

In an Onegin Stanza. What a find!
