Buckeye Banter:

Columbus's games, so loud and bright,
I cheered along, felt the night.
But then I spilled my popcorn wide,
The crowd just laughed, didn't hide.
From stadium's roar to city's cheer,
Columbus's laughter's always near.

Scioto Silliness:

Scioto River, flowing clear,
I took a boat with friends so dear.
But then I slipped on deck so wet,
And fell right in, oh what a set!
The locals laughed and pulled me out,
In Columbus, joy's what it's about.
