Greetings

Welcome, you with the curly hair Dreamer, jester or One putting on airs The trades greet you

Come, see buildings bloom Like flowers Worry fade from the customer's Face With your hands make possible The dreams of tomorrow

Look, and as from nowhere Solutions shall appear See, and you shall understand Try, and you will know the joy Of being useful, welcome

The Apprentice

The new apprentice, asked The old journeyman "What do I do?" The old man thought a bit Looked him in the eye And softly said ...

Lad, ask ... ask to see To know, to repeat To pry, incessantly The only stupid question Is the one you already Know the answer to Learning, is asking "why"

Remember ... first the man Then the job If you want one less problem Learn well ... and "Speed" is not everything Soon, soon, you Will wear the journeyman's shirt

Lad ... it's a hard It's a hard, it's a hard hard life You'll be leadin', but a good one You'll know
