Ode to Slack Rope Grrl

Design by Iris Tsouris

I walked along one sunny day
Across cross-campus back in May
And saw a sight that made me stop
A daring Grrl, a daring drop

A sick celeb has graced our town
The Slack Rope Grrl of balanced crown
She ties a line between two trees
And walks above us in the breeze

In sun or sleet, in rain or shine
I’ll love that Grrl n make her mine
We’ll slack 4 days, we’ll slack 4 years
Till the line snaps n we disappear 

She’s stupid cool, she’s wicked slick
How does she do her epic trick!?
Way up a full foot in the air
A crunchy chick with godly flair

I ran and begged her from below:
“Oh Slack Rope Grrl, how should I go?
“How can I too one day ascend?”
She winked and said “just be my friend”

In sun or sleet, in rain or shine
I’ll love that Grrl n make her mine
We’ll slack 4 days, we’ll slack 4 years
Till the line snaps n we disappear 

So on we went, in perfect pair
To chase each other through the air
And race and dip and bob and twirl
Me and my best bud, Slack Rope Grrl <3

In sun or sleet, in rain or shine
I’ll love that Grrl n make her mine
