: Dr. Uncle Mark;
: (Hah! And I thought I was, with my sons the only one yelling out answers to the "Millionaire" show, of which I barely have time to watch!)
: Not a usual topic on the board; but I'll beat (wrong word) Doc M to the punch (oh my another wrong word here....)...Have to have some reason to keep my 2 foot stack of LOTM stuff instead of pitching it!
: (And Red Leaf! Maybe he tripped over said stack of LOTM stuff on his way to further Mayhem....does this count???)

: The Poem for his Newborn:

: "Welcome to earth, my child!
: Joybells of blossoms swing,
: Lamb and lovers have their fling,
: The streets run wild
: With April airs and rumours of the sun.
: We time-worn folk renew
: Ourselves at your enchanted spring,
: As though manking's begun
: Again in you.
: This is your birthday and our thanksgiving."

: 
: (From the New Yorker Magazine, July 5, 1992, pages 15 through whatever....my zerox's don't always have the page number; I think it's page 18 this poem is on;)(I've learned my lesson  about sources....)

: Jo
: Glad to be able to use my stack of LOTM stuff.....
: Doc M, if this is different than your poem; so be it. Let me know.
