My college has a lake,

 oh how it looks so fake.

What good is it for?

Our school is supposedly poor.

The lake does not serve a purpose;

 there is scum on the surface.

To get from one side to the other- oh brother.

You have to go all the way around;

the broken fountain sprinklers make a horrid sound.

The ducks and geese poop

on your shoes there is green and white goop.

You aren’t allowed to swim or wade

I don’t even know why the students pay.

I can’t wait to transfer and graduate,

I hate that school, it’s such a stupid place.

And that lake…

It just looks ridiculously fake.
