It rained and we got slightly "chilly" so sweatshirt time! CRAZY!


The Poets of Pohnpei…

Here begins the story told,
Of a JV community that is not that old.
One month is all we’ve had to mold,
But serious we are as hands we hold.

It started in a flat bed truck,
Three tired souls, a bit star struck.
We drove back to the house in the muck,
We realized once we met Brian we had all the luck.

Our ICO was full of fun,
We climbed a rock and loved to pun,
We swam a lot and got some sun,
And on we go, we’re still not done,

We started making friends over here,
We want to be more then the four musketeers,
Peace Corps and World Teach we both endear,
We look for more with our eyes and ears.

We cleaned our classrooms to prepare for the new year.
We swept and mopped getting ourselves into gear.
Our staffs are great and do not jeer,
As we began teaching subjects that were a bit unclear.

We all decided that we like to cook,
Chocolate chip pancakes are worth another look,
After we’re done we like to settle into the nook,
And watch a movie or read a book.

We love to eat with the Jesuit priests
Who always provide us with a decent feast,
Discussing what we can do for the least,
While watching the sunset and drinking brewed yeast.

And last but not least we feel we must say,
Our community is a beautiful bouquet,
We work and play and pray all day,

But stop each night and appreciate the Milky Way.
