The La Selva Song

Written by George M. Zacur

(To the tune of Adam Sandler’s Chanukah Song)

Here’s a song, about our La Selva Hike,

It’s just a little tune, that I think you’re gonna like.

Mike is a Canadian, and likes a marathon run,

Our hike to La Selva, sounds like a bit more fun.

Jacklyn is a swimmer, whose swim times can’t be beat,

But she fell a couple times, and got blisters on her feet.

Ailene’s name is spelled, exactly how it’s said,

She likes to go vegetarian, and is the only true red head.

(Just kidding Michelle)

Stacy hates going uphill, and she likes the “F” word curse,

She didn’t like the muddy swamp, and hated the Maria’s worse.

Jessica goes to concerts with her Mom, and it ain’t no rumor,

She’s always cracking up, and has a snappy sense of humor.

Amber’s always checking, to see if we’re doing fine,

She had a sore back, and I never heard her whine.

(You go girl)

Christina hikes pretty well, even for a Tica,

Well what did you expect, she’s from Costa Rica.

Khaled is a soccer player, who likes to score a goal,

He flashed Michelle on the hike, ‘cause his pants had a big hole.

(Two of them)

Kris saw puma crap, and saw a puma track,

There, are you happy now, be quiet or you’ll get a smack.

George of the Jungle, is really very hairy,

Everyone knows his life story, and that’s pretty scary.

Michelle is a super T/A, she kicked Amber in the face,

But I whacked her with a branch, and put her in her place.

She’s always laughing, and I don’t now why,

I guess it’s ‘cause she falls a lot, and it’s better to laugh than cry.

She told us what the hike was like, and man she wasn’t joking,

This is her second time, Michelle what are you smoking?

John farms Macadamia nuts, when he hikes he really sails,

He’s real cool to talk to, and he helped us find the trails.

He taught us some tricks, carrying water to and fro,

You must really like this stuff, because you’re like a pro.

And now to Dr. Janos, last but never least,

He’s our leader, teacher, and father, Heck man you’re a beast!

(That’s a good thing)

You helped us bivouac before1070, ‘cause we couldn’t get there sooner,

You told a few good stories, and you’re a damn fine crooner.

The freeze-dried food was OK, sometimes wet, sometimes dry,

Hey folks it could’ve been worse, it could’ve been Moose Terd Pie.

Thanks Dr. Dave, for bringing us back alive,

Now we all can say, Hey man I survived!

So let’s all celebrate, and keep Dr. J in a good mood,

‘Cause now people don’t forget, he’s paying for our food.

So grab every stuff sack, and put on your backpack,

Start hitting the road Jack, ‘cause there ain’t no turning back.

You can’t go by bus, by car, by train, or by bike,

So start walkin’ and enjoy the Happy, Happy, Happy La Selva Hike.
