When
new member couples are approved, they are inducted into the order at
the next regular meeting of the order and are introduced by their
sponsoring member couple. At that time they are awarded their
medallions and any other acoutriment so designated. They are required,
after this introduction and before being seated, to recite a poem or
tell a story containing the words, "fuck" and "fart". Not many
members have risen to the occassion in a grand style, however 2016
inductees James Parks and Barbara White (now Mrs. Parks) set the bar
quite high for new members and would be a tough act to follow. Their
poem was memorable and to "give you something to shoot for", it is
below for your enjoyment.
We came to the meeting they called us fucktards
it made all the Shiners laugh really hard
They fed us good snacks that are good for the heart
but careful, cause too many will cause you to fart
So tonight I deliver my required poem to you
in hopes I'll be seeing many smiles in the room
Cheers to you all, one day you'll ask how
but, too late, it's done, you're stuck with us now.
