The Ballad of Zach Craft
by Conrad Jones, May 2003
Zach started karate a long time ago, according to my memory …
Now he’s graduating, and heading off to Emory!
Princeton’s loss is Emory’s gain …
This dude will have fortune and fame!
I know the proudest parents are Lisa and Perry …
I’m sure everyone will be a little teary.
I know his brothers will miss him, Alec and Matt …
But Zach’s so smart — just check his SAT.
His beautiful girlfriend Amy will always be near …
Just like James Bond, he has no fear.
A better Black Belt we never did see …
That’s why he’s so awesome, and a 2nd Degree.
Zach has respect, discipline, perseverance, and is never late …
Those are some of the reasons he’s so awesome at debate.
All the Black Belts at the school will miss you, Zach …
Please come and see us whenever you’re back.
Thank you for all of your help over the years …
I’ll miss you a lot; you can tell by my tears.
