		Each year, Columbia University's Philolexian Society hosts a bad poetry contest in loving memory of Alfred Joyce Kilmer, author of "Trees." I've entered this contest a number of times, and even won once (see 'Little Buddy' for the full edition of the winning poem).
		Alfred Joyce Kilmer loved life, and he would love the spirit in which we are gathered here this evening.
		He was someone who, while he may not have been a great poet, was nonetheless always enthusiastic, ever ready with a full snifter of brandy to offer to visiting Philolexians, and not, I repeat not, related to Alfred E. Newman.
