WELCOME!!

So, for a lack of a better way to start my presentation, I thought I'd start with a poem.

INVITATION

If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer . . .
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire,
For we have some flax golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!

This, by the way, is the poem he used to open his book 'Where the Sidewalk Ends.'
