Police Investigating Death at California Fraternity

by Tony Peyser

In the town of Chico
Died the unlucky pledge
His physical well-being
Having been put on the edge

By drinking lots of water
In a series of nasty plans
That also involved sleeping
In front of many fans.

One thing I always find
Especially amazing
Is when this kind of "torture"
Is dismissed as "hazing."

Those who are responsible
By any measure or rule
Should no longer be allowed
To keep attending school.

Anyone who inflicted
This barbaric debasement
Should be given jobs with
John Ashcroft’s new replacement.
