Ode To NH3, IDLH

 

I came all the way to Kansas

Even made it to Dodge City

I was here for an Ammonia Class

My lab books weren’t too pretty

 

Garden City’s not a hot bed 

Of lots of things to do

But they took us out to lunch each day

And Wayne gave us cookies too

 

We studied by the pool each night

And drank a couple beers

David fixed his carburetor

And reduced his traveling fears

 

Marc sang Karaoke and was sorry that he did

All those friends in low places are keeping themselves hid

Ed, well he’s the quiet sort, Frank is full of jokes

Martin’s an academic; at NH3 he took a poke

 

Loane and Dave Oltrogge worked through the week just fine

Dennis said he’s never seen a personality quite like mine

Jon had some discussion on whether the book was right

Nothing too alarming, not like it kept him up at night

 

Doug and Rich and Daniel toiled and proudly carried Tolin’s sword

There was something ‘bout a wise ass and my name up on the board

Dallas took us to the pool and an old icehouse that we saw

Garden City Community College, by gosh, don’t that beat all.
