Meritta Cullinan has always been a Molloy institution, and now her status as a faculty icon to students has been solidified by this poignant ode created by two of our finest student poets, Amber Lutz and Melanie Ciotti (The lyrics can be found below):
~ODE TO MERITTA~
by Amber Lutz and Melanie Ciotti
MERITTA..MERITTA
YOU'RE REALLY NOT ALL THAT BITTER!
IN FACT..YOUR EYES...THEY GLITTER!
I SHOULD REALLY TAKE YOUR PICTURE!
HEY MERITTA MERITTA..

OH! MERITTA YOU MAKE ME QUIVER!!
HEY MERITTA MERITTA..

QUICK! LETS HEAD TO THE MET!
BEFORE WE GET WET! BUT WE GOTTA JET!
WE WONT MEANDER JUST YET!
QUICK! RIGHT THIS DOWN..BEFORE I FORGET!
HEY MERITTA...YO!!
YOU WANNA GO SEE A PEEP SHOW?
OR WE COULD GO DOWN TO SOHO!
LETS ASK DR. RUSSO!
HEY..WHERE SHOULD WE GO?
OH I KNOW...LETS GO TO "EL BARRIO"
FOR EL DIA DE LO MUERTO!
HEY MERITTA...

LETS WALK 100 BLOCKS DOWN TO THE PIER!
OR WE COULD STOP FOR A BEER

NO...MIKE..YOU CAN TAKE IT FROM HERE!!!
