origins


 Once I wrote theorems a-
       long with their proofs;
  Next I wrote programs with
       almost no goofs;
  Then after seven years
       sharp'ning my hoofs,
  I now write poems with
       infrequent spoofs.

    Thanks all!

    (The Japanese kanji means "poet" -- click on the symbol for the "etymology".)

    Very clever. My poem's title today was also "origins."
