Owego Free Academy

The Ballad of the Streak 

One day in the town of Owego

At dear old OFA

There was a great occurrence

That was shocking, so they say.

It started as a rumor,

And gossip rather lewd

Was circulated 'round the school:

"Charlie Letcher will streak - nude!

Everyone was wondering 

If the grapevine could be right,

And in secret they were hoping

That they wouldn't miss the sight.

The administration was forewarned

Of what just might transpire,

And as the zero hour approached

Their blood pressure grew highter.

At last, at last, 'twas 5B lunch,

The time that had been appointed,

And as the students congregated,

They hoped not to be disappointed.

The minutes dragged, the time went on,

And the, there came a cheer,

As multitudes of students

Caught a glimpse of a bare rear!

The place was in an uproar,

And good old Chuck was nabbed,

By Mr. Cornick, super jock,

And thrown into the lav.

The news,  it spread around the school

And kids began to shout,

"Let Chip go," Let Chip go!"

But they wouldn't let him out.

It was the event of the century!

The sheriff was called in,

And you couldn't hear a single thing

Above the roaring don.

Then, at last, they set Chip free

And he walked before his peers,

On his way to the police station,

Quite red about the ears.

So that's the way it happened,

Upon that fateful day

When Owego had a streaker,

And they took poor Chip away.
