Ritual Poem

I know that I have read a generic poem about the meaning of a Ritual.

Does anyone have a copy?

Thanks!

The Secret Thoughts of a Ritual - Edward M. King - Sigma Chi

Excerpt:
Quote:
The Secret Thoughts of a Ritual
by Edward M. King, Sigma Chi
Bradley University
Peoria, Illinois

There are many of us around. Some of us are very informal and loosely structured, others are very formal and precisely worded. Whether you are aware of it or not, your whole life is based on certain ritualistic patterns. The way you get up in the morning, the way you study, the way you organize your social life, the way you speak and write, are all based on certain habits or routines that you develop and are performed, by and large, in an informal ritualistic way.

I think she may be refering to the poem that talks about not leaving it in a locked drawer, but I can't remember the rest I'll see if I can find it.

from the above mentioned poem... "Shortly after the ceremony, I am brought back to the dark room and placed in the locked file drawer"...

My first post only listed the first few lines.

Ahh, Tom, next time only eat a BOWL of Wheaties in the morning, instead of two boxes. What exactly is that about anyway? Did I miss something?
