Ode to My Dear Green

You may believe that Christmas 
Only happens once a year
With strings of lights just hanging
Bringing us some Christmas cheer

Yet the feelings that this day brings
Can be found in other places
Duke computer science students
Are solving all these cases

Every week becomes a challenge 
When APTs appear online
Please bring that fateful color
And show us that we shine

Christmas colors red and Green
Are not only for the holidays
Upon completing every set 
Just one color we pray displays

Not blue, not red, not yellow, or white
Makes me dance with pride
My heart belongs to the color green
I succeeded when I tried

Those simple squares of color
Make Christmas come way early
Just bring me green dear Santa Clause
Grant my wish, I pray, please hurry

As the problem sets stop coming
And we take the final test
I will dream of green for months
My love I have professed

Goodbye eclipse. Goodbye my green.
Its been a lot of fun
I must go home and rest my brain
Like this poem, I am finally good and done.
