In a distant land, in a far off world,
A man's vision slowly unfurled...

With sights of his friends and shadows his own,
The computer geek showed he was not made of stone.

For in this far off land, in a rich other realm,
This confused little man took the Dreamwork's helm...

His visions realized, his thoughts a store,
He discovered that flames quickly burnt the oars.

So he stretched forth to reach the skies,
Then discovered the joy to be felt as one flies.

But 'twas yet stranger lands he yearned for at last,
And flying through stars he discovered was fast.

Though he learned in the end, when the landing was done,
That the truest of friends had forever been won.
