My last day in sandy hell, or buggy heaven?
I’m not trying to be “malarious” in saying that I will miss the reek of those boys
Ryan’s giggle, Rob’s beard, Joe’s quotes, Brian’s Wit….T.J.’s unwit

Missing hearing my name about three trillion times-a-day
Whether in confusion, or joy
Or that childish fury that builds up within us
When “IT’S JUST NOT FAIR”

Oh kids
They are so much smarter then we give them credit for
They love unconditionally,
They everything unconditionally

Running running running
Till they physically cannot
Always asking why, when, how
I wish I was that curious, that everyone was

“You are cordially invited  to the scenic Freedom Lake”
To give away forever
Your summer
Your inhibitions
And many brain cells

We’ll pay you
With a tan
Baked goods
And the best friends you could ever imagine

This will be your home
Until you get a “real job”
Which you learn not to expect

You learn about ***,
Drugs, College, First-aid, people
And most of all life

You will find yourself here
Along with some spare bottle caps
Be sure to admire the view for me
We all take it for granted
All of it
