Original Poem By Kalli Dakos

If we were invited

To the White House for lunch,

QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor

are needed to see this picture.

Brian wouldn’t be ableTo steal Lolane’s chips.And Karen couldn’t squish upHer milk carton,After she blew bubbles into her milk,

QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor

are needed to see this picture.

And Seth couldn’t crawl under the table,

Chasing his lost pistachio nuts,

And Annie couldn’t say

Her spanish rice tasted so yucky

Sometimes we think about

Eating lunch at the White House

And all the manners we’d need,

How we’d have to sit very still,

And think before we speak,

And talk in whispers,

And keep our feet on the floor,

And never take a bite --Not even a tasting bite --

Until everyone has been served.

Maybe somedayWe’ll be ready

For lunch at the White House,

Or at ROSENDALE!

QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor

are needed to see this picture.

And doesn’t it make Rosendale a nicer place

for everyone!
