Kurt Kleinschnitz

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.

KURT

We know a great Governor named Kurt
Zestfully restfully alert

Relaxed and resourceful
Fearless and forceful —

And his smile’s on the sleeve of his shirt

Please don’t inquire with Kurt
If you’re looking for someone inert

He’s active, not passive
With a mind that is massive —

Just be sure that you serve him dessert

With challenges others would skirt
Kurt is a virtual flirt

He meets them and greets them
And sweetly defeats them —

Capable, competent Kurt

Up bright and early at work
Solving problems wherever they lurk

He’s happy and smiley —
But watchful and wily

Our constant, continuous Kirk Kurt

He’s now quite an expert on dirt
And managing waste, I’d insert —

Whatever it takes
When peace is at stake —

Courageous and colorful Kurt

His operations are sometimes covert
Secret missions —not to subvert

But only to build
Until all are fulfilled —

Caring, compassionate Kurt

The Maharishi Effect? He’s expert
From him fifty studies will spurt

He’s one of those cats
Who’s bats for these stats —

Scientific American Kurt

World hunger, and hatred, and hurt —
Such dangers he will avert

The Maharishi Effect
Is his to project —

Our own superradiant Kurt

With Christy — intelligent, pert —
To peace the whole world they’ll convert

The earth will be bright
With God’s golden light

Fulfilled they’ll be, Christy and Kurt

Twice a day to his Self he’ll revert
Then gravity he will invert

From hopping to flying
Without even trying

He’s cool . . . he’s cosmic . . . he’s Kurt
