1. I left Brown not knowing what would
With Barb be the ultimate good But six months apart Made it clear to my heart That we’d marry in May: Yes, we should! 3. Chenoweth, Gration and more Taught concepts and methods galore to Kenya for research our names not to besmirch An M.A. I finally did score 5. The Rock church was diverse on purpose And wanted true friends not just surface So meetings we had To unlearn the bad Vanilla, choc’late and fudge ripple (If you want all to rhyme, I’m gonna need more time. Or your dime.) 7. In ’90 we noticed another Small person who came with a mother We asked all around And finally we found That Austin was Melinda’s brother 9. In time we knew God wanted us To move toward a place tremendous Though hard to say ‘bye’ To loved ones and cry "Zaire" was not ambiguous |
2. While working at jobs to pay debts
Wheaton our appetite whets ethnomusico- logy was the draw We went there and had few regrets 4. Not ready for prime time cross-culture Leadership or translating Scripture To Austin we went An auspicious event A welcoming church was the clincher 6. Barb and I thought about children At least one and maybe a squadron The first to come out Was clearly not stout But lovely and healthy, Melinda 8. I worked hunting heads as a job To keep us from dressing like slobs The work was not fun But worth a million Because we loved Doug and Guy gobs |
