Here are samples from other schools:

Two schools, both alike in many ways,

In fair Bay City, where we lay our tale,

From rival grudge break to new extreme heights,

Where old grudges make new ones to begin.

From forth the enemies of these two schools,

A pair of football players take their time;

Whose kickoff stunk piteous and stunk again

Do with their game what their coaches like.

The brand new passage of their brand new tricks,

And the continuance of their linebacker,

Which, but their brand new shoes naught could help kick,

Is now the two very fun-filled hours of our stage;

The which if you decide to attend,

What here shall miss, we never shall strive to mend.

Two dirt bikes both alike in displacement,

In fair Pontiac where we lay our race

From starting point break to new finish`ed

Where fast racers make great entertainment

From forth the fast meters of these two bikes

A pair of pro-blood racers take their stage

Whose factory rides piteous triple jumps

Do with their great skill their parents proud.

The tires passage of their excel rims,

And the continuance of their cycles revs,

Which, but their hard crashes, naught could stop them,

Is now the two hours moving of our stage;

The which if you with watchful eyes attend,

What here shall see, our race shall strive to mend.

—Brad, student, Bay City Public Schools

Feuds we brainstormed last time:
