Bill Crist

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

BILL

We love that great Sidha Bill Crist
By whom we’ve been beautifully blissed

He’s sweet and he’s smart
Great of mind, great of heart —

None dearer could ever exist

From out of Orange County he came
Seeking not fortune or fame

But something much finer
Something diviner

Befitting his most holy name

Of Bill it must always be noted:
To Maharishi he’s deeply devoted

No time wasted wandering
But always he’s pondering —

How can this bliss be promoted?

For Bill is a luminous star
In the heavens of Movement PR

From rooftops he’s shouted
To a world so crowded

So this message is spread near and far

And what a great force he has been
This magnificent man among men

This remarkable writer,
Linguistic delighter —

The stick he holds up is a pen

But boundaries are not to be reckoned
And Purusha eventually beckoned

From the worldly swirl
To pure Self-referral

And to soak in that bliss every second

Simple, devoid of all vanity
He radiates sweetness and sanity

To see skill in action
Watch Bill in action —

An example to all of humanity

We all have been feeling fulfilled
Simultaneously peaceful and thrilled

Fortunate are we
In our world family

To be thoroughly Cristed and Billed
