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.

PAM

I transcend, therefore I am
I desire, and Brahm says, “Yes, ma’am”

These divine powers —
Each of them flowers

She’s precious . . . she’s perfectly . . . Pam

With the force of a Grand Cooley Dam
And the gentleness of a new lamb

She has all the elements
Of cosmic intelligence

She’s precious . . . she’s perfectly . . . Pam

The Mansion she kept “in the fam”
Steering us clear of a jam

Her great generosity
Moves with velocity

She’s precious . . . she’s perfectly . . . Pam

Her Ãtmå is flowering Brahm
In a Global Country ruled by Raam

Her heart is a place
Of a master’s rare grace

She’s precious . . . she’s perfectly . . . Paam

Our enlightened community flowers
With Sidhas descending in showers

Eight thousand strong
Peace before long

She’s precious . . . she’s perfectly . . . Pam Powers
