W. Keith Sgrillo This is a poem that I wrote about the institue a few years ago at the end of the Institute. Hope you enjoy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR!!!! OH WHAT A THING!?!?

So let me say thanks, to you, Oh master Paul.

Because it's reality, "I" am now, not sure of at all.

So watch as I try to sum it up, and use to extent, the precious in puts,

to sort this out and give to you, some story of mine,

"I" will call... out puts.

So synapses you speak of,

and the tiny neurons to boot.

Influencing my....Well, my everything,

Including the color of my suit.

So now, Oh Paul, "I" am in quite a quandry!

For what am "I" to do?

For you just insisted on telling me, that red is green, and green is blue?!?!

Now on to mood! "I" am angry! "I" am sad.

And now that "I" realize that, "I" am all the sudden... glad!

The nervous system that we have, Oh! How wonderful and great!

Paul, "I" have to say to you, My mind is in a random state.

And to you! Ms. Dickenson. "I" must salute.

For you convinced me of my brain and the sky.

But "I" must say of you, "I" am not completely sure.

And, well, dont feel too badly.

Because the same can be said for me, myself, and "I".

So to you, Paul, "I" say thanks and continue your wonderful way,

Of convincing me only of uncertanty, and that night is now... day!
