Twas the night before the FIRST trip,
and all through the school,
everybody was working,
packing all the tools.

Their families were asleep in their beds,
dreaming of their brothers, sisters, and friends.
When at 1 am there arose such a clatter,
no need to worry, it was a FIRSTER, cooking up
some batter.

His eyes-- how they squinted, his pupils how red!
His cheeks were like roses, high he held his head!
His mouth, covered in white powder, was a smile,
though he had not seen his feet in a while

He finished his meal and sprang to bed,
visions of robots filling his head
Before he fell asleep, he was heard to have said
‘It’s done!’ after which he slept like the dead.

Good luck to every one in Florida!
