Serendipity: I found the original of this, which was hand-written on a piece of scrap paper more than 20 years ago, lying in a pile of "stuff" in my "sewing room" just about a week ago. At any rate, it so happens that that's also the room where I have my two Hanson posters on the wall. I picked up the sheet of paper and was able to make out the fading pencil of a "pre-poem" - which I had attempted to write, I think, just to have something interesting to work on for my college calligraphy class.

I've just transcribed it today onto the computer at work, edited it into a more finished poem, and given it a title. (It's my favorite style: some combination of e. e. cummings and A. A. Milne, I think!) What really got me, that day when I first re-visited this writing, with Isaac, Taylor and Zac "looking on" from the wall, was a few of the lines in the original ... now I know it's just coincidence, but ... I've highlighted them. Can you picture Hanson, especially from the MMMBop video era, in this poem?
