The thing that lights my day up the most,
Is when I’m in a room with you in it
Your handsome face greets unlike most
So our exchange of sounds melts me a bit
I long to reach out and embrace your warmth
But there is no hope for this yearning
My fondness thus makes my mind forlorn
Though my heart’s joy continues churning
The shining collar upon your neck
A reminder of the Academy’s banished love
Which often leaves midshipmen vexed
But the statutes come from the ranks above
Don’t bring your pets
