While I'm not exactly new here, but I figured it is a good idea for the Spokesman(elect) to set a good example to all our various newcomers here.
In the black charcoal night
you awake to a sound
that gives a small fright
nothing much, just a noise
and you see the window lying bare
and in, low and eerie, is the cold night air
With the curiosity of a cat who hasn't met its day,
you creep to the window, and as you do I say
Hello
with a chuckle
I have to say, well met
though I doubt you'll say the same to me, in fact, I bet...
And you see out your open window, reclining on the roof
a man clothed in black, with top hat
(and walking stick to boot)
I'll bet you don't even know me
I say and turn and grin
and don't worry, about anything, I don't really want in
I'm fine out with the moon, fresh air and rain
but where are my manners?
ah, of course,
my name.
I am Espen Lee Tennant
with a little bow
I would remove a glove to shake you hand
but I'm afraid it is terribly cold
out here
tonight
with the trees bare and rattling
with the wind high and prattling
while you should fast and warm asleep
Well, I guess you time is valuable,
I'll try no longer to keep
you up
Just know I am here if you need me, just a call away
I smile a rictus of a grin, blue eyes flashing and wave as I stand
Well, it has been grand
and so I'm off
I'm sure I'll see you again...
Soon

Hello all you who are new to this arena of thought, that is ENMP.
I wrote this to say 'Hi' formally, and also to encourage you to formally introduce yourselves. We have had so little of it, and it always feels better if you would spare a second to make the effort. I doubt that made any sense.
