On a light note, I hope that you enjoy this poem I wrote about my time in the Middle East.
I woke up at 5:30 a.m. because that’s what I do
I turn on the hot water so that I can smell new
After this I boil water for eggs
They did not get finished so I left for school without eggs
With two of my friends I am walking to school.
We learn whole new words like ‘shabaab’ and ‘mashguul’
After an hour we break for coffee and cookies
Another hour passes and I’m passing another dooky
Life is good when you just “let go”
it’s even better because I took some ‘Pepto’
Having fun is hardly hard
when you’re studying Arabic
really hard.
