VISITING PREP SCHOOLS WITH INSOOK

Our friend Insook Oh of Seoul,
In what school will her son enroll?
In two days as our guest,
It was Insook's quest
This matter to control.

Minsung, clever, Korean, and cool,
Will be in tenth grade in school.
If it costs a king's ransom,
The school that's best for Minsung,
That will be Minsung's school.

Six prep schools we checked out.
There are a lot of them about.
'Twas interesting, I must say,
And fine schools are they
With great records they can tout.

They're schools for students smart,
Schools old but state-of-art
And up to speed on the latest trends.
I'm glad to help a special friend
Who is so close in heart.

About these schools I now am knowing
They want kids right outgoing,
Kids of good report
Willing to try a different sport,
Kids who to college will be going.

Teacher-student ratios are favorable.
The cafeteria food is savorable.
Faculty kind and wise
Are at hand to advise.
The SSAT may be waivorable.

It's part of their nitty-gritty
To stress integrity.
They are expensive country
Whether out in the country
Or close to a city.

Woodberry Forest is the one
Insook picked as number one.
If he has himself so well acquitted
As to be admitted,
'Twill be great for her son.
