The Legend of the Coug-O-Lantern

 

Tradition has it that once a year,
Pumpkins are carved of a legend so dear.

While most emit faces or creatures to fear,
Cougar nation shows pride through a glowing sphere.

For our newest family members to those deep in career,
This annual luminary serves as festive gear.
Saluting the legacy that we all revere,
A friendly “Go Cougs” is all that we hear.

Across the land from rolling hills to the pier,
A simple reminder of how we cohere.

So, with help from your incredible four-year,
We can make distance seem to disappear.

Displaying your pride, your spirit, your cheer,
Together, we can persevere.

On this Halloween more than ever it’s clear,
The Coug-O-Lantern shines to unite Cougs far and near.
