Stepping into Sam’s car

Is all I can re-call so far.

As the door was opened,

I stepped in.

And there they were—

The Murri.

Cooking and cleaning

Was their calling.

My tour guide was Sam.

I met Ali and his mom.

Including Blake,

Who I thought was black.

So begin our conversations,

As I was being questioned.

The topic was:

What do I like

And what do I dislike.

Of course, my response was food,

Always been since childhood

It went from books I’ve read

To cooking I’ve had.

As the night flew by

We said good bye.

But first Sam and I

Exchanged our glances of eye

As we carried

My what to be

Dresser

For the year.

I almost teared

As Alison summed up

The whole situation:

“Bora, I’m so glad that you are here.”

My eyes were filled with tears

But I hided and said:

“I’m glad to be here too.”

Thank you!
