In a surprising turn, a Mason is on a quest to find an elusive poem centered around the lambskin apron. The mysterious piece, recited by a senior member at an installation, remains unknown to many lodge members and has led to interactions across various forums as members seek to assist.
Context of the Hunt
The search began when an enterprising member, preparing for his upcoming raise, recalled a charming poem that included the line "a simple piece of lambskin". Puzzled by its absence from lodge lore, he reached out to the Past Grand Master (PGM) for insights. "He mentioned it was very old, but couldn't recall where his copy was," the member noted.

Memorability of Phrases: Users expressed their hope to identify the specific phrases beyond the prominent line mentioned. As one commented, "Do you happen to remember any of the phrases besides the one you mentioned?"
Emotional Connections: Others shared their fondness for the poem, highlighting its sentimental value. "I read it on an old dinner menuand had never been able to find the author," noted an enthusiastic contributor.
"I want to memorize it and say it back to him," said the original poster, highlighting the connection forged through shared traditions.
