Ode to the girls at MexArt this summer
Time's come to an end, it's really a bummer

It's time for you all to go on your way
But before you escape, we have something to say

Lorrie came to study dance
To move around, strut and prance

She's fairly quiet and seals her lips
But stand aside when she moves those hips

Be careful not to bring up illness
Her graphic responses cause sudden stillness

Blood and cough, puss and blister
Be careful now, this twisted sister.

Advice from her some may lament
The use of pepto can cause cement

This subject brings us to Melissa
Many trips to el bano she did miss-a

Her body quaked, her brain a fog
While waiting for this lincoln log

Her skills of jewelry she did hone
While sitting on her ceramic throne

Mexico had a strange impacto
It made her intestines so compacto

Rachel, Rachel where are you?
Once again you've missed the cue

It's off to class, it's off to trip
But the time for you does seem to slip

The most reluctant of them all
You were the star of basketball

You came with Spanish that make one drool
But the drawings you make are really cool.

Christina's outgoing and has one line
"When are we ever gonna have free time?"

She's easy to hear and has plenty to say
But never wants at the table to stay

The jardin is calling, the boys await
It's the only thing that will quicken her gait

Caroline came to live in the house
Who would have thought she'd bring her own mouse?

No pets are allowed, she knew that for fact
But she brought one along in her black back pack

Camera and jewelry were her two passions
But no one can deny her sense of fassion

Photography studies have brought us Grace
She's strong and active, but not in your face

Protruding spines that come from her knee
Casualties of horse and tree

Fleet of foot and good at Spanish
She caused her accent to nearly vanish

Marisa Marisa our karaoke DJ
Had no trouble keeping bugs at bay

She squealed and jumped with each one she met
And made them into a special pet

Marisa's a techie and sometimes quite vocal
It's also true, she looks like a local

Oh Hannah, Oh Hannah, where is your stuff
Don't blame the staff, it's only a bluff

It's still in your room it's hiding somewhere
It'll jump out and bite you if you don't despair

You say you're not interested, not even one boy
But out in the city you're flirting and coy

Sara Sara look over here
There is no reason to have such fear

We'll take a picture and cause no pain
It's sometimes fun to be a little vain

The boys they would say you're looking quite cute
But then quite alarmed by that thing in your suit

Jaime is my given name
I'd love to dance in a show called Fame

Every day I must drain
The liquid on yogurt, that's such a pain

It's clear and slimy, quite disgusting
In Spanish I'd say "no me gusting"

Got the gripe, feeling off?
Rachel's got the syrup for your cough

They'll be no cause to charge malpractice
She's tried every cure in the northern axis

If Rachel's cranky with not enough sleep
Up all night counting those sheep

She may tell you to go to hell
But deep down under, she's a southern bell

Put on your CD and quell all your fears
Quiet Lisa turns into one Brittany Spears

When out on a horse cruising the ferma terra
She changes again to one caballera

When she sits at piano, she changes once more
All things put together, makes for quite an allure

Mikayla doesn't care for diamonds or poodles
But when she feels queasy, giver her those noodles

If hair getting blonder reduces IQ
Look out for Mikayla, she'll be in the zoo

She's always around when one needs a smile
She's a very good friend, and does it with style

Sophie Sophie the karaoke queen
Careful there honey or you'll rupture your spleen

Diva of singing, diva of dance
All you needed was just this one chance

There just one more thing about your sunglasses
They go on the table, not under our asses

To say Megan's limber is shorting the fact
Her feet go to head like she has no back

There's one sure thing that I'm willing to betzel
She can curl up her body and look like a pretzel

Just put on the music and give her a chance
Those feet'll start moving, she'll be taken to dance

Joanna, Irene, Jessica, Nico
Don't eat with us much, or go to sleepo

But during their day they gave us their all
They pushed and they practiced in the sweaty dance hall

There was only one and he looked quite manish
But all of them helped us in learning our Spanish

They came to the concert, they danced with the rest
And all joined together, we gave it our best.
