Learning to Love St. Olaf

Learning to Love St. Olaf

because it has stories

because the Midwest breeze blows across the hill
because the winter gust is cold
and because Oles are better than the knights

because we give rather than ask

because we are international
we sailed from east and west
and across the Pacific

because the air is filled with Malt-O-Meal
my sense melts in my mind
my hunger with my mouth

because we sing Um Ya Ya

because everyone loves the Caff
because we check the P.O three times a day
because the purple dragon smiles in the lib
because the wind chime rings

because the Norwegian folks float
because the Vikings hum
because we are who we are

because home is far away
because it is time
