A Limerick Message From Brutus Buckeye to Fighting Illini Fans

There once was a team from Illinois,

Their fans, this message, it will annoy,

The orange may fight,

From morning till night,

But the vict'ry will be ours to enjoy.

Abraham Lincoln - President's Day Limerick

Lincoln was Illinois' greatest resident
That was proved by his time as president
- Kept the country together
Despite stormy weather
To do the right thing - never hesitant.
