Ode To My Friends

We had the BEST Girls Night Out ever last night. Several of us are moving onto other military hospital locations, so we thought we'd have one last hurrah! During dinner at CPK I shared a poem with the ladies ... written by muwah. They gave me fabulous parting gifts (pics, flowers, gift cards -for my annual nail painting party, beach toys, etc.) As I said before, what makes it hard to leave is parting with wonderful friends. Alas, here's the Ode to sum it all up.

We’re all embarking on new endeavors
Shawna is heading to Texas
We hope she enjoys the weather!
Her boys and girl are the best behaved,
We pray that her others will turn out that way
Melissa is mid-sentence in the monstrous medical-life scene
Give any one of us a call should you need to let out a really good scream!
Your talent is amazing. Your skills really ROCK
Lexi will always be the coolest kid on the block
When it comes to health, Catherine and Noreen are the best
Really, you can trust them because they’ve both passed ALL of their tests!
Cute Catherine’s blond babies are the “fairest” of all
If you need some Arbonne sunscreen, just give her a call!
Romp ‘n Roll is headed our way
Let’s give thanks to Noreen for saving the day!
With art and music classes, birthday parties and so much more
Her establishment will be all we could ever ask for
Miss Delia, Kyle, and sweet little Sean
Helped us get through those winter days that were so dreadfully long
Now that we’re going to be miles away,
We’re sure gonna miss those days of group play
Lori you’re last on the list, but certainly not the least
You’ve kept me laughing out loud while moving my feet
OK, so Salsa Fitness involves moving much more
Like pelvic thrusting, booty spanking, and making love to the floor!
Well my dear friends I bid you adieu
“Happy Trails” to you all
May we enjoy all of life’s moves.

Cute poem! Very creative. I'm curious how long it took you to write.
