Ode To A JKB Hall

Have you ever really taken time to notice carpet?
It get's stomped on, trialed on, walked on.
But do we take the time to stop and appreciat it?
Feel its texture; a smooth roughnes. Or study the stains of stories long gone;
See the individual carpet strands or how it's made of squares that fit.

Have you ever really take the time to notice ceiling?
White squares pock-marked with many little holes.
4 squars wide, 77 down the hall. 308 squares one hall is dealing.
Wow, that's a lot. And there are also many lights. And only one who cares knows.
I care, I know. There are 13 floresent lights and across the hall they are stealing. (I also counted the can lights, 46, but didn't include that in the poem)

Have you ever taken time to notice wall?
Smooth and white. Oh look over there, that half is tan....



At this point classes got out and I figured that it was a great ADD way to end the poem :)

Sitting Lonely in a JKB Hall

While guarding bathrooms for about 4 hours during classes at EFY, I wrote a couple of peoms. I share them here, and you can guess how entertained I was... :)


Sitting lonely in a JKB hall
I ponder what, who I am.
I pray for the Spirit to help recall
My purpose to get me through this emotional jam.

Sitting lonely by a fountain.
I think about why I am here
And how I can survive this EFY mountain
With happiness, gladness, and cheer.

Sitting loney by restrooms.
Learning to be greatful for the quiet and rest
And pushing away those feeling of gloom
That peace and joy may be my conquest.

Sitting lonely on a floor.
I see someone! I know you!
Oh, I am so greatful for
Seeing other counselors in blue!

EFY Blue #4

What's goin' on, this be my boy Paul,
He's really awesome and he's kinda tall.
Here at EFY this is year fo'
He just kept on comin' back fo mo'
He's from Utah, from Tremonton
And that's just where he's got it goin' on.

Yo, my name is Jenna, hey ya'll hey
I like to have fun, to laugh and play.
This is my first year at EFY
And I have to admit I think it's pretty fly.
I live in Rexburg but I'm from Pleasant Grove,
Why I made that move I still don't know.

Together we make a way awesome team
To sparkle and glow just like a sunbeam.
Our company scripture is Josh 1:8
And we've got the goal to never be late.
We'll take every moment to testify
And change some lives here at EFY!
