CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #160

[KathieK]

[not part of entry]Those of you who are old like me may remember 1963's Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah. Here's my take on it.[/not part of entry]

Hello students, hello mentors,
Here I am at Camp Kennedy Space Center
Camp is very entertaining
And I’m prepared in case it never stops raining.

I teach robots with Spammy Badame
She lives in Florida, north of Miami
We teach programming to beginners
And tonight we’re testing code on the shuttle after dinner.

All the campers hate the waiting
And the Argentinians need translating
And the kids from England like it hotter
And everyone’s sitting around reading Harry Potter.

Now I don't want this should scare ya
But we got access to the launch area
Here’s a picture with Endeavor
I’m going to treasure it forever.

Don’t send me home, oh students, mentors
Don’t send me home, I love the Center
Don't leave me out in the swampland where
I might get eaten by an alligator.
Don’t send me home I promise I will not make noise
Or mess the lab with LEGO toys.
Oh please let me stay
I've been here one whole day.

Dearest mentors, darling CDers,
How's my precious little engineers
I won’t come home, even if you miss me
At the next CD Web Hug you can hug and kiss me.

Wait a minute, it’s stopped pouring.
Nerds are yelling; the engines are roaring
Almost liftoff, gee that's better
Students, mentors hope you get to read this letter.
