Thanks @DebsValidation! It's a really cool poem.
"Appear in @SlipperyElmLJ" can finally be crossed off my to-do list, and I've got the T-shirt to prove it! SE 2025 is available to purchase. If you're near Findlay and amenable to reading poetry, I'm looking for someone to attend the party & stand in for me. Dave did a 👌 layout
