Mr. Yoder Roller Coaster

You can be sure, any time of the day,
You’ll find Mr. Yoder, in the libraray,
With computer lit up, furrowed brow,
Shows you not to interrupt right now!
He starts early, coming home a bit late,
Bedraggled and hungry, I patiently wait,
‘Til at last he darkens our trailer door,
A sigh of relief, “I’ve lived one day more!”
He dramatically utters with a smile worn,
We eat then sleep, til the new day is born.
 Day in and day out, this is the roller coaster life here,
Every moment is terribly exciting or dreadfully drear,
There’s no in between for our emotions are high!
As the big day of thesis defense does draw nigh!
The Yoder family will come, and we’ll horray!
That done are Mr. Yoder’s long days in the libraray!

Rainy season in Nigeria leaves everything in varying shades of green. A few mangoes still cling to the naturally symmetrical trees and cows...
