It was suggested by someone for whom I have great respect, that I remove this poem and so I did. However, I will contend that any poet who writes with the intent of bringing smiles to the site and who never writes a negative word about anyone, deserves to be respected.

Thank you, Chris. In light of wanting the site to be as peaceable as it can be, I have left only a few words that I hope will be understood by everyone.
