Brimming shelves of Entenmann’s.
See? Forbes is well-placed.

Oh Wawa, how I miss thee so! Spread your wings and fly, fly to the West Coast! Bring your shorti rolls and your stuffed pretzels and your macaroni and cheese and we’ll hang out just like old times. Oh, and don’t forget to bring me a copy of The Trentonian!

As a Tiger who paw-ed the campus prehistorically
I Wawa-want to reflect metaphorically:
In olden days, like Kemper ’02, Ms. Ellie
I yearned for treats to fill my belly.
In Wawa-less days — save meals Chez Commons’
Slim pickins: Renwick’s or noodles by ramens
Though war, pestilence, and famine
Cause collective bad temper
The future is Wawa-wonderful
So kudos to Kemper!

I thought PAW would appreciate this photo of our daughter Rory enjoying the “Ode to Wawa” article written by her “Aunt” Ellie Kemper. She loved tearing up the envelope that came with it.
