Für zweieinhalb Tage auf dem Tsiribihina. Zum Abschluss wurden wir gebeten, eine Rede auf die Fahrt und das Zusammenleben mit der achtköpfigen Bootsmannschaft zu schreiben. Natürlich musste das ein Gedicht werden, was mi glucksender Überraschung aufgenommen wurde.

Two and a half day on da Lakana Be

Two and a half day
On da Lakana Be
There are people hard working – their number is: eight
And there’s two on the top – who are just gaining some weight

The water’s so shallow – and it’s not getting better
If the tourists on board become fatter and fatter
But the cooks both made really excellent jobs
And their singing and dancing was Top of the Pops
And so was the work of the rest of the crew
While we just lay down and had nothing to do

The captain did slalom and some marvellous u-turns
And we just laid down and were getting some sunburns
And tried hard to keep all the memories in our head
While the whole crew was eager to rescue a hat
Jonny explained us nearly whole Madagascar
And in the distribution of pencils – he’s really a master
And there’s so much to mention that you did for us:
Building up tents, collect wood, play guitars
So it feels like a week what was twoanhalfday
That we were your guests on the Lakana Be

We’ll keep this in mind and especially
When we are back in Germany
Back in our jobs and in cold winter’s shiver
We’ll remember the lazy days on Tsiribihina river
Thank you so much
For giving us such
A great time: twoanhalfday
On the Lakana Be
