The important part is in the oh one
Like the change of century, or millenium.

I love that Buckminster Fuller quote.
It has the power to enthrall.
So I printed it out in very large type,
And proudly pinned it to my wall.

Dymaxion Fuller,

Re: Quatrain Corner

I actually met Buckminster Fuller!
I went to a lecture hall and heard the man speak!
Afterwards, I shook his hand, but when I asked
For his autograph, he pulled back with a squeek!
