Mama MECOR
S. Mooney
Those of you who were here last year know I cannot singSo here’s my rhyme, I hope you’ll agree, it’s really more my thing.I’ll give my thoughts upon you all who make up PATS MECORFaculty first, then students and then the staff for sure.
Sonia started it all and made it grow from seed to tree, what’s moreShe is THE director, known worldwide as, yes, Mama MECOR.Stephen got the grant to get Africa in the gameHe goes a mile a minute Flash Gordon is his name.
Fran’s director international affairs and from ATS she hails Her generous support is crucial and it never fails.Steve, director level one, great teacher and he’s keenHe goes like this and this and this, whatever does it mean?
Shannon leads up level two, listen well, see what he showsFor your research methods he’ll’
keep you on your toes.Phil, expert in TB, speaks softly but watch where he is goingWhat he doesn’t know about TB really isn’t worth the knowing.
Brian’s here for his first year and he’s an ace statistician If you follow him you may became another stats magician.From Kenya here comes Evans, he’s a director at KEMRIHe’ll guide you well, so be sure to keep his words in your memory.
