Light

We are quite lucky to have a resident poet in Tad LeVan.  Here is his recent piece that announced a summertime party we had to break up a hot and humid afternoon.

"Summertime"

In light of the weather we're sittin' here wishin'
That we could be outside just playin' or fishin'
Enjoying the sun and the warmth of the day
Smiling and laughing our troubles away
But instead we are here in this tower of glass
Working and praying for time quick to pass
So we can again feel the sun on our face
(Of course all us HASPers still quite love this place)

Fear not fellow workers; our cries have been heard
(Now stop all that shrieking; it sounds quite absurd)
On Wens'day at 3 in our Conf'rence Room A
A party we're having to brighten your day
With pretzels and water ice -- treats all galore
We'll all be so fat we won't fit through the door
(And talk about irony; won't that be funny?
All stuck in a room -- not outside in the sunny.)
 
So...
Come down at the time and enjoy all the fun
(But Janet instructs you must walk and not run)
With snacks and with ice colored red and light blue
We're doing our best to bring summer to you!
