I have never seen the poem before but I definitely share Sue's sentiments!

That poem is in my collection of inspirational poetry, and when my husband was living it was his favorite poem. But put in this context I'm ROLF (rolling on the floor laughing). Sue S., who thanks you for your sense of humor on this list. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 8:24 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: The Stripper Speaking of the new web site, I think a little poetry is in order. Eldorado Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado. But he grew old- This knight so bold- And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found No spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow- "Shadow," said he, "Where can it be- This land of Eldorado?" "Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied- "If you seek for Eldorado!"

It is part of the new website, and will make its debut when the new website makes its debut. (And before you ask, no, I don't know when the new website will be deployed.)

Do we officially have a new stripper now or is this talk about when we do? Thanks. EVAN REESE wrote: > There's no need to make the chapter titles bold. If they are, then that's fine.
