I’ve been a member since o’ three,

Writing a great deal in the beginning,

Twas like I found a whole new ability,

As long as it was not me starting to sing…

Close I am getting to four thousand,

Think it’s about time I to my roots return,

Then maybe over four I can transcend,

Of late to create is what I desire and yearn…

So please bear with this author of little renown,

Of my desires for awhile I’ve known,

I can be and will again, I’m sure, act the clown,

My skills I wish to better, I hope, hone…
