I have uncovered a letter that Kevin wrote home to his parents shortly after enrolling at Clemson which I would like to share with y'all....
.
.
.

I'm a Tiger Cub from Clemson
South Carolina's greatest school.
I drive a pickup truck with antlers
And all the ladies think I'm cool.
I got my Tiger 1 Card in my hand
I got my Tiger Stripe account.
Spend money like a drunken sailor
And never look at the amount.

I'm right here majoring in sandbox
With a minor in Fizz Ed
(I shake my Coke when he ain't lookin'
And I aim it at his head!)
They said that I could be a thespian
But I'm a real man and then some...
A future leader of my country,
I'm a tiger cub from Clemson!

Chris Rock is my favorite teacher..
The football coach is Dr. Ruth.
We're gonna beat the Gamecocks some day
(Though I won't see it in my youth)
We have to take a foreign language
So English is the one I chose
Cause I'm a tiger cub from Clemson!
That makes me special...I suppose.

I've learned a million things at Clemson
Like Grape Nuts really ain't VD
A G-string ain't part of a fiddle
Diaphragms ain't geometry
The teachers marvel at my progress..
Already know my ABC's
'Cause I'm a tiger cub from Clemson!
(Hold the applause down, if you please)

My buddies sent an invitation
To join their fine fraternity.
It's got a funny name I can't pronounce
'Cause it's all Greek to me!
But I am proud to be a part of
This great university...
I am a tiger cub from Clemson!
Don't everybudy envy me??????!!!

*giggling* oh you are wicked, dear Balladeer...I guess that is why we all love you so much. There is a touch of the devil in you and a very loveable devil he is too.


Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Balladeer,   You do this so well....I got
a lot of grins from this one....being a
S. Carolinian....but not necessarily a
Clemson fan....(Don't tell anyone I said
that)   GREAT WRITE...

Balladeer~

One stroke of the master's pen
you've gone and scored so big again~
But it's Kevin we should thank
He has placed a new Tiger in your tank !

*This just has the entire neighborhood giggling~

Love you~
Happy Thanksgiving holiday to you my friend~
*Hugs*
