James Banks, class of '10, is an International Ag. Development major with additional interests in music, poetry, and ideas in general. He appears on the Sickspits stage every month he can as Last Man Standing (see MySpace page). Here is a poem of his, in both Spanish and English:
"Mascotas" Tenia una cuy, pero nunca un perro Perros saltan en su pierna, ladran y Se van y Faltan atencion A cuyes les gustan comida y dormir Y la mia me parece feliz con su jaula, Con su detencion Ella asentia, y sobre todo, Yo asentia Un amor que podia contener "Pets" I used to have a guinea pig, I've never had a dog Dogs jump up and bark and Run away and Want attention Guinea pigs like food and sleep And mine seemed fine with her Cage's detention She agreed with it, and above all I agreed with it, A love I could contain
