Ode to Spain
An Epic Limerick by Allison Martin
Ode to the memories of Spain
Where school sometimes drove us insane
But we traveled a lot
And fight we did not
I’ll be sad when i get on the plane.
Ode to a fabulous culture
To paintings, retablos, sepulcres
There’s pee on the ground
And poop all around
And the gardens could use a good mulcher.
Ode to the teachers we found
Where the phrase “Vale Chicos” abounds
Though Sara Miller is mean
And Ernesto obscene
José Grillo is the coolest around.
Ode to the love people found
And to love back at home safe and sound
But those that did stray
If I meet them one day
I’ll kick ’em in the balls to the ground!
Ode to the ice cream in Florence
Too bad Semana Santa rained in torrents
Feria was neat
The coffee here is sweet
Shit...nothing rhymes here but Joey Lawrence...
Ode to believing in Jebus
To trips to Granada on a free bus
Time went by quick
And no one got sick
With the flu or with SARS amebus. =)
Ode to green monkey poo
To photocopies brought in lieu
Of passports that may
Not work in seven days
It still amazes me that Lauren flew!
Ode to Byzantine art
With which I’ll be glad to part
But not with D’Orsay
And the house of Monet
In a city that captured my heart.
Ode to every new friend
And the old ones who’s friendships extend
If you ever are sad
Or even just mad
A smile I always will lend.
And so this week’s our last chance
To drink, to laugh and to dance
It’s Spain we will miss
It has really been bliss
And another thing –
DON’T YOU HATE PANTS??
(too good to not revisit and share every once and a while) what else can i find on this computer?.............
Top eleven reasons why it rocks to be prez of youth in government:
11. Irish guys
10. ice cream socials with Mr. Postley
9. sexy survey says…..
8. If George W. can do it, anyone can
7. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead
6. the closest a female will ever get to the REAL presidency
5. “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” ~ Gandhi
4. My land is Thailand
3. Big E, MACS, ‘Lena, and Brad
2. Lay me….I’m Lebanese
1. Behold the power of the gavel!!!!
(WOW, that's old...when did I even write this?)
