A Toast to Our Coxswains (♫ in the key of Power Ten ♫)
THE SIZE OF THE HEART IS THE SIZE OF THE MAN
WISELY, OUR COACHES SAYETH HATH;
POWER COMES FROM THE HAND ON THE OAR
A WIN – FROM THE COX’S PATH.
Coxswains are a funny sort,
Neither starboard – neither port.
We’re thankful for the outsized moxies –
Coming from our wee, li’l cox-ies.
Skål!
