Peck, Peck
The mascot of the University of Delaware has a history that stretches back to the American Revolution.
The fight for a nation is the reason
For a scrappy lot of gamecocks that made
The First State resonate in all seasons.
The legend will never ever just fade.
The gamecocks strut, their feathers like points
Of navy fluttering and parading
As they gain ground on other cocks in joints.
They allow for no theft or invading.
The fight remains fierce in Delaware streets.
The Blue Hen continues to just peck, peck.
Whatever bird that he or she may meet
The Delaware Blue Hen will stretch its neck.
This fighting bird is one to earn respect.
For it can leave an opponent just wrecked.

Smartystan
The gleam from the streets of Smartystan sparked the brain. Platinum and diamond streets always seemed to drive thought in the city-state-nation. It meant that vehicles could rove over the avenues and boulevards with ease and become not a distraction but a reminder of how clean and well-kept even the alleyways and back lots had been.
