The glass wall sparkled in the sun
A scenic view of lucid bright
Although precision of position
Had the feel of cool damp night
Then we stepped into the atrium
A place indeed to be impressed
Nicely introduced ourselves
Without question were addressed
A man of substance smiling broad
Tink, tink, tink, he tapped his glass
Causing pleasing chat to hang mid-air
Anticipating what might parse
Today I’d like to share with you
After many years of dreaming
How in the end it dawned on me
A ray of insight beaming
The speaker raised a steady hand
Putting murmurings aside
And so continued in beseeching tone
To ears and eyes that opened wide
Everything we want to be
Displayed in galleries of our mind
Is based on sets of mutuality’s
And payment suitably in kind
So join us and be rest assured
Our gift together is unbounded
Sharing shares we know you like
All sense of failure is unfounded
For we have found the lost horizon
We offer tickets too fair by far
To enjoy the much more merriment
Along our route to Shangri la
