Learning to Love Olaf

Me and my partner Sarah began this poem together, but each finished it differently.  Here's the result of my product:

because it has something for everyone

because we say "Um Ya Ya!"
because we smell the Malt-O-Meal
and because we live on the hill

because it is a community

because we are in Minnesota
because we are not at Carleton
because we like snow "dont'cha know?"

because we strive for a better future

because the windmill is a guide point
because we're all about sustainability
and because we recycle

because I have homework every night
because I am paying serious money
because I'm too far away to go home.
