Found this on the Artemisian list, and though it isn't in direct response
to threads we've been looking at lately, I thought it was very nice and
just wanted to share it with y'all.

>There stood above the land of sage, a very special place-
>Where griffins flew to share their thoughts of Chivalry and grace.
>Among the rocky crags, how they would laugh and dance and chase,
>But words were never used to harm like sword or axe or mace.
>
>Here, songs of valor filled the air and echoed through the halls.
>The works of master artisans adorned the stony walls.
>The efforts which had built this place required more than mauls,
>And even heated arguments did not erupt in brawls.
>
>How noble was their porpose and their sentiments, the same.
>One golden rule had governed them to keep discussions tame:
>Since fire burned so hot and fierce like words of hate and blame,
>The halls of their enlightenment would not be lit with flame.
>
>One day when herrings were discussed, a sight they did espy:
>"What miracle is this?" they asked, "A pig with wings to fly!"
>They sallied forth en masse, each calling out his greeting cry
>To bring this stranger to their home - their brother in the sky.
>
>The pig was made most welcome, and invited to debate,
>But all that issued from its mouth was incoherent hate.
>"Perhaps it doesn't know our ways!  Perhaps it's not too late!
>If we could only make it sing, its heart would lose its weight!"
>
>Their efforts were Herculean; on that pig, how they'd dote!
>Despite the lessons with the pig, it wouldn't sing a note.
>The pig became annoyed, for it had thought the lessons rote:
>"How dare they try to make me sing, and treat me like a goat!"
>
>Bizarre revenge had filled its mind and clouded it with ire;
>The pig snuck out to seek a torch to set the place afire!
>But clumsiness had changed its plans; its wings became a pyre,
>And not a griffin shed a tear to see the pig expire.
>
>The griffins wrestled with the thought of one beyond their ken,
>Of how they had accepted one straight from the serpent's den,
>And if another came to them, would they so try again?
>They said they would, for open minds can always find a friend.
