(A proofreader's note on “team” and “teem,” including reference to the liquid-related meanings of the latter)

So teemed with honors the stellar team
That tenured teachers cheered,
All eyes agleam with wondrous sheen,
Reflecting prospects shared.

Emotions felt by some were more,
To swollen flow sustain;
They teemed from pools of limpid mood,
Supplying their own champagne.
