I'm pleased to make you aquaintance, Goose,
We always welcome those new,
I have read some of you recent posts,
And I would like to welcome you.
You mentioned earlier about your rank,
With no interest in moving on,
Well, there is no formal rank structure here,
Anything approximating that is gone.
Yes, there are some senior members,
But they are special you see,
They are the founding members,
Or hard workers theydo  be.
Take for example Buffy and Doom,
Both fairly new to this game,
They have worked tirelessly here,
The Village has not been the same.
We are surrounded by hard working types,
And those who just like to be,
Involved in something interesting,
And full of jocularity.
You'll find that you've got avarian company,
And before you start to school,
Already amongst our feathered friends,
We boast a type of Night Owl.                                                    

It is my duty to inform you now,
That now us you did pick,
You will neeed to get a visit from Doom, 
And The Pointy Stick.
The Pointy Stick is an Unwashed tradition,
Exercised on those so new,
It will be over in a flash,
No scars will be left on you.
So, I welcome you once again,
The party has just begun,
I hope that your is experience is enjoyable,
Exciting and even fun.                                                    

Cheers from the Land of Oz
