Ode to Orem

Farewell to this city in the 801,
to its smog, red lights, and chaos

Farewell to a 5 mile commute
that takes 25 minutes, no matter the time

Farewell to the traffic and Bryce's loud voice
as he yelled at every passing car (they deserve it)

Farewell to the basement with it's odd temperature
of hot in the day when no one is home and cold every night

Farewell to our crazy landlady
and her cable, "storage", peaches, and phone calls

Farewell to our crazy landlady's dog
who will forever bark uncontrollably

Farewell to never having enough time
to drive the 2 miles (or 90 minutes) to anywhere

Farewell to Orem Wal-Mart
with it's overpopulated cookie section

Farewell Orem, it is with light hearts and large smiles that we leave, Farewell.

And WELCOME back to Cedar! When are you going to come and see us? Hmmmm????

Um... I know this is laced with sarcasm, but what about your farewell to Hali friend?!?

:( [Sadness]

Oh well, I'm a wee bit fond of the Cedar place. Maybe you can talk me into a visit. Good luck :-)

Yes! You should BOTH come. We just get so attached to our old library ladies, er, um, workers. And bring info on Monica and Aubrey if you think about it. ;-)
