So let’s talk about expedition 36<\/o:p>
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

You may at times have<\/span><\/span> felt it a bit fixed <\/o:p>
what with no viz, we’ve all been in a bit of a tizz<\/o:p>
What with all the storms, we’ve all been a bit forlorn.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No diving today, that’s what we say!<\/o:p>
we have ridden the storms together, so no more talk of the weather<\/o:p>
But let’s talk about what you have<\/span><\/i> done.<\/span><\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/o:p>
At moments you have completely shone<\/o:p>
and for sure we will be sad to see you all gone<\/span><\/span><\/o:p>
’cause your achievements have been very long.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We had a fantastic open day<\/span><\/span><\/o:p>
when all the kids came out to play <\/o:p>
the children got dunked and sucked on some air<\/o:p>
they didn’t see fishes but they didn’t care.<\/span><\/span><\/o:p>
Turtle racing was fun, and we put on a show<\/o:p>
– even the president had a go.<\/o:p>
Monsier Roger even joined in the fray<\/o:p>
making Beck’s heart leap with his condom display.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Your posters were super, smashing, great<\/o:p>
A real asset to the collection to date<\/o:p>
The pirogue race will surely be remembered by all<\/span><\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/o:p>
Great strength was shown, i think you’ll agree we all had a ball.<\/span><\/span><\/o:p>
Then onto the singing, our time in the spotlight<\/o:p>
I hope we didn’t give the villagers too much of a fright.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Technical problems and hitches galore<\/o:p>
But Bic’s presentation still wowed the floor<\/o:p>
It was great, but we mustn’t forget<\/o:p>
Expedition 36… isn’t over yet<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yet more bad weather, and more rain that fell<\/span><\/span><\/o:p>
So off to Bevato, we all yell.<\/o:p>
Up there we have mangroves and baobabs too,<\/o:p>
but watch out for mosquitos when doing a poo!<\/span><\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/o:p>
Climbing up trees and traipsing through mud,<\/span><\/span><\/o:p>
and even more mosquitos sucking your blood.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On our return, it’s like a new place.<\/o:p>
No wind and good viz, and now a smile on your face.<\/o:p>
Now three and a half kilometre square of belts<\/o:p>
in only four days – watch our scientist’s hearts melt.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Y<\/span>ou have all been so great, so bask in your glory<\/o:p>
when you regail to your friends expedition 36’s story.<\/o:p>
And especially remember when talking of Andavadok<\/o:p>
Explain about the fashion of wearing one sock.<\/o:p>
So never forget your Vazaha foty foty<\/o:p>
and always remember mampiasa kapoty!!!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p>
<\/span>* Editors note: <\/span>“<\/span><\/span><\/span>mampiasa kapoty” means “to use condoms”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
