Ode to Euti


When we met Euticauls he greeted us with hugs.

We bombarded him with questions to which he just shrugged.


We met his sweet family: Joe, Jeff, Melissa, and Jane

Their meals are better than American food, so we cannot complain.


They feed us beans, rice, ugali, spinach, chippaties, and cat...

OK, maybe not cat - but gives me a good laugh when I tell Steph that!


They won't let us walk and are making us plump,

so when we get back to the States the saying will be true...

that white girls can't jump!


He's made our stay here warm, welcoming, and then some-

Buying us beds, mosquito nets, a persian rug, and water by ton!


He's 10% water, and 90% Fanta

He loves coke too, so we'll take him to the museum in Atlanta!


That's only if he'll come to the States with us sometime-

He's been before and his passports too full but there's no harm in tryin'!


He looks out for us just like he's our dad,

That's one reason why we think he's totally rad!


He has a brother Phillip, and they're BFF's

When we ask a dumb question he tries not to laugh.


We decided to do laundry and then set the date,

When we asked him to join, he said sarcastically,

"Sure it will be a party... and then we'll have some cake."


We've been laughing and laughing till our stomachs ache,

He has become affectionatly known as Euti the Great!


We love you Euti!


Love,

Stephanie and Chrissy

Chrissy you are too much!!! I thought I was the communications major! Scott said "the 'Jerk' says Hello"! Mitchel said that "You are beautiful laying on the ground but why do you look so sad?!" And Mason thought Africa did not have grass. I guess he thought it was all dirt with giraffe's roaming aimlessly. I can't believe you rafted down the Flippin NILE River! I am so jealous!
