So back in August, my roommates and I went down to Florida for our roommates wedding. We were way excited to soak up the sun rays, but just happened to arrive right in the midst of all the Hurricane Fay happenings. It poored the whole time. One time we even drove two hours to find a beach with sun....and sure enough...right when we pulled in it looked real sunny. We got out of the car and "BOOM!" the storm hit before our toes hit the beach. Anyway...during a long car drive I wrote this poem to keep our spirits up.

title: FAY

Once upon a time, in the land of rain and trees (A.K.A. raintree apts),
six white and fair maidens shaved up past their knees.
They went on vacation all excited and giddy,
to soak up the sun in Orlando city!
Their des-tination was where all dreams come true,
flip flops and sun tans, and Mickey Mouse too!
But evil existed and so did her plans,
she hated those maidens with their plans of sun tans!
So she whipped up a storm, full of lightning and thunder,
hoping she could make those six maidens wonder...
Why they had come, when things weren't going the best,
she wanted these maidens to go home depressed!
But you know what these maidens did with dumb Fay?
(Well first off, they said "I think you're real gay!")
and then they said you can't ruin our day!
We'll admit we're real angry and a tan would be nice,
but in order to have fun, we don't have to think twice!
So they played a little M.A.S.H. and found their prince charming,
and spent the night at the spa with freebies alarming.
So who really cares about fay and her storm,
they don't need no sun to make their hearts warm!
So do what you want, you evil dumb fay,
go away or decide to stay, try your best to ruin our day,
we may always be white, but you'll always be gay!
