STA Poetry

At our 50th Reunion, Tom McGrath brought his 1960 STA autograph book.  Flipping through the pages, I remembered how "witty" we thought we were with our catch phrases and four-line poems.  It made me look for my book -- which I remembered seeing about 15 years ago!  Well, I just found it.   If you still have your book, perhaps you would share some of the pearls of wisdom written inside?  Just click on "comments" below and add your personal witticisms!  Be sure to let us know who wrote it.

Having no fame
Permit me only
To sign my name.

And be polite
And save the yellow
For some rude fellow.

Carved in a tree
Two little words

And blue ships
But there is no ship
Like friendship
