We'd Like to Be Told

With apologies to Fred Rogers for my adaptation of his song "I Like to be Told" (click the link for the pleasure of hearing Bette Midler sing along with Fred), here is a little ode to Harvard U.

We'd like to be told If what you're going to say Will be anything like What you said yesterday. We'd like you to work Together with us. But why can't we ride On your shuttle bus? We'd like to be told About your secret plan. We'd like you to stop Buying up all our land.

We'd like to be friends Would be much more fun. But not if you think You're the only one. We'll meet every week Right up 'till the end. But not if your plans Cannot even bend. We'd like to be told 'Cause we're trying to trust, And we'd like to have faith, And we want to believe. We'd like to be told. We'd like to be told.
