Excerpt from Cy's Surprise, a children's book published in 2017:

 

In a cozy straw nest,
In a tree way up high,
Lived a red baby bird
His friends called him Cy

​

He was loyal and true,
And his spirit was great
His home and his heart
Were at Iowa State

​

At Iowa State,
He had lots to discover
Each day something new
And the next day: another!

​

Cy soon learned to fly
He grew bigger and strong
And found a tall clock
That played a great song
