It occurs to me, that some people reading the list may never have attended a PDML meet and may not recall all the words of the PDML Song, whose origin is lost in the mists of time (although some say the words are by Matsuo Basho himself, translated by Walt Whitman). So I've jotted them down here for reference: >From the Land of the Rising Sun Came no stick with a sponge, nor a bun Shaped like a Carmelite nun! What they gave us you'll never guess It's a mystery you must all confess Cleaner than Monica's dress! It's a camera! Yes, a camera! They gave us a camera and lens For each of us. Yes, even Jens. It's more useful than 300 pens! It's a camera! Yes, a camera! Taking snaps of a handsome bird Is much sweeter than lemon curd And more thrilling than Douglas Hurd! It's a corm'rant! In my camera!
