Tom Turkey said, "Listen, there's news not routine

For our workshop in March, two thousand fourteen.

At Columbia Gorge Early Music Retreat.

There's surprises this time - especially sweet!

Vicki, the Neumans, Rotem and, yes, Paul,

Who is currently famous from Bangkok to Gaul.

We're not just enjoying the food, notes and rests,

But this year we're having some mystery guests!"

That crafty old turkey refused to reveal

The names of those slated to come and quadrille,

"You must sign up quickly before we can fill!

Our discount December the first is the deal!"

"Gadzooks," said the turkey, "I've just heard the news

There's only room left in the waiting list pews!"

So download your form and send without qualm

To zoe-tabby-catz that's at gmail-dot-com.

(zoetabbycatz@gmail.com)

Your waiting list number we'll quickly shoo-in.

And see if your fortunes bring a wild dingaling!
