COME RUCK
COME RACK
In the Appalachian foothills
Above the Pittsburgh coal mines black,
Near the river Allegheny
Roared the lions, “LaSalette is back!”
On the 31st of May
Their roars not meant to scare or harry,
Their roars were prayers in honor of --
The Queenship of the Virgin Mary.
The “Clash of the Titans”
No more rehearsal --
Mexican, Irish,
Asian, universal.
Flesh against bone
They rucked and they hooked
Both Catholic schools
No fear would be brooked.
And to the end
They ran the good race
Jesuits, first –
LaSalette, second place.
In the Appalachian foothills
Above the Pittsburgh coal mines black,
Near the river Allegheny
A Catholic endures…come ruck, come rack!
