You always had my heart……I loved you like no other
I loved you more then any food, I loved you like a brother
I ate you when I was hungry. I ate you when I was sad
I ate you when my hair looked ugly and I got really mad
I ate you in the bunches, 5…..10……15 in one sitting
While others thought us weird, for us it was befitting
I loved the way your name attached to the end of mine
And together you and I made this fruity little rhyme
I loved everything about you…..that is until this year
When you stopped up all my insides, and took away my cheer
You made it so my bowels froze. Why would you do that?
It made me want to go outside, and make your flesh go splat
So now I never eat you……….never ever ever
And though I’m happy inside, my life’s a little dimmer

Sincerely
Anna-no-Banana

Woman, “yah, he’s in Smith.”

Me (excited), “Smith Hall? Right here? Where I have Organic Chemistry, is where
Karl Rove is right now?”

Woman (getting annoyed), “yah, but the point is that he shouldn’t be here becau-“

Me (getting tired of woman and excited about Karl), “That’s insane! Karl Rove is in Smith Hall!”

Woman (making a last ditch effort), “but he’s responsible for the war in Iraq!”

Me ,”But, right now he’s in Smith Hall! I need to go see him!

And, I’m off; walking through the protestors and into the police guarded building.
Karl was in a lecture hall answering questions for students for Conservative Week. My excitement to see Karl Rove was not because I agree with him politically. It was more because I find politics fascinating and wanted to see him answer some tough questions. He was responsible for the deaths of millions of people, and he should have to answer that, right?
However, once inside the auditorium, I was unexpectedly in awe of this witty and well spoken man. He had my heart at “America was founded on the principles of freedom and small government where we can have choices with how we spend our money instead of other people telling us.”
It didn’t even matter that I disagreed with almost everything he said, such as, “Hiroshima was a necessary evil.” Or, “Maybe if people just thought more carefully about the necessity of seeing a doctor and used their money wisely, we wouldn’t have a healthcare crisis.”
I was in love. The way his spun his tales of healthcare reform and lower taxes was beautiful. And when protestors had to be taken out forcefully by police while they yelled, “who’s the terrorist? Rove’s the terrorist!” he just laughed it off and thanked our forefathers for freedom so speech. Sigh.
I was so caught up in the whole event that I made the mistake of clapping after he said something particularly amazing. Up until that point I had been doing a good job of concealing my enthusiasm, so the cynical Rove hating students around me wouldn’t confuse me with one of the Conservatives. I rolled my eyes and acted bothered just like the rest of them, but inside I was secretly loving the entire encounter. Who was this nerdy man who, for good or bad, had risen to become one of the most influential politicians of our time?

I said But the sky is black
There is nothing but noise and din
But He wept as He sent me back
There is more He said There is sin

I said But the air is thick
And fogs are veiling the sun
He answered Yet souls are sick
And souls in the dark undone

I said I shall miss the light
And friends will miss me they say
He answered me Choose tonight
If I am to miss you or they

I pleaded for time to be given
He said Is it hard to decide?
It will not seem hard in heaven
To have followed the steps of your Guide

I cast one look at the fields
Then set my face to the town
He said My child do you yield?
Will you leave the flowers for the crown?

Then into His hand went mine
And into my heart came He
And I walk in a light divine
The path I had feared to see

Spy villy lilly hoo
Taking gum along to chew
Winky walt-a walt-a woots
Don’t forget to wear black boots

Something is gone very wrong,
Rikky rocko jello song
We is here to make it right
Off we go into the night

Quietly like mice we prowl
Our eyes is wide, we hears a howl
A footprint clue is our first sight
The moon above will be our light

Rumble-dumble-doubleeee-dee!
A Crash, a bang, a flash we see
A broken light, a running fox
our feet is fast, off we trot!

We catch the fox, he is remorse
He wants a change, a different course
We take him home to be our friend
And let him learn to make amends

Spelunker sandy sunny oh seee
We just solved a mystery

The darkness
They catch me
They catch me
I’m falling
The darkness
They catch me
I cannot be free

Mold me
Shape me
Renew me
Create me
Only for you
Only for you

You don’t notice other’s stares
Or maybe you don’t care
That’s how I wish I lived my life
Of judgment unaware

You made me laugh many times
As we sat and “talked”
Thank you for the joy you have
And the joy you brought
