I am reminded of Alumni day
That early morning in the fall of ‘99
When prominent alumni returned to play
At the great College of Albert Einstein
In this annual drama of a pilgrimage they make
To meet old friends and reacquaint
While exchanging bear hugs and kisses

With two choices of entrée,
There is a decision to make
While many opt for chicken,
Others prefer tuna steak
Perhaps a mistake?

At the great College of Einstein of all places
Some blame it all on the coffee they'd drank
But walking around and looking at faces
An infectious disease maven notices a clue

And bacterial action releases histamine
Hence lots of peripheral vasodilatation
And not to mention, gastrointestinal locomotion.
Scombroid poisoning is the diagnosis
