a reading from the book of perlmonks.org

level five shall be
the level of thy counting
no more and no less

neither count to six
nor four, but proceed to five
seven is right out

once the level five
it being the fifth level
thou hast then attained

postest thine picture
upon the node that is home
for all monks to see

and your enemies
being naughty in my eyes
shal snuff it. amen.

Can you tell I'm excited?!?

++ tomorrow when I have votes, Pikus. Brothers and Sisters, if we don't have a poet laureate in the monastery already, I nominate our Monkish brother Pikus, fresh from being tonsured (and who knows what else) in the CB this morning. I find it amazing that one can rise to the level of monk so quickly, in so few posts, and most of them Poems. Thanks for adding to the culture of our little community. And congratulations, brother Monk. Pax, NovMonk	[reply]
