Five Years of Maciej

Arrived in 2013 on Singa
From far north a Pole
Four years battling watery poop
Challenging thesis it may be
But succeed in landing each sole

From fermenter to synthetic biologist
Hunting the choleric protagonist
Baking the starchy dough he ferments
Eating gingerbread as Pumpkin laments

The Grand Duke Holowko his highness is
A lord in lab, his skills this
Ending his five years with us
Onto Bisbane on new year cusp
