For Ruth on her 90th:
There was a fine lady named Ruth
Who was given to telling the truth.
When asked how she defied
All those years she replied,
"I've discovered the Fountain of Youth!"
For Sam on the occasion of the 10th NEMF:
Our most esteemed guru named Sam,
Who never drinks even a dram,
Knows when mushrooms seem puzzling
There's no need for guzzling,
He just goes "whoo-eeeee" and gets out of
the jam!
And for Gary:
There once was a guru named Gary
Who always could answer a query.
From his virtual college
Mycological knowledge
Flowed so plenteous it really was scary.
