The Journal of the Traveling Squid project consists of a Journal and a Giant Squid T-shirt. As each Squidoo lensmaster receives the forwarded package containing the journal and shirt, they make their contribution to the journal with a journal entry. And, they sign the shirt with their lensmaster name, location and date.
JaguarJulie’s famous Traveling Squid Journal and T-shirt have been on the road for 6 months now and have visited lensmasters far and wide.
In recognition of the journey thus far, lensmaster and unofficial Squidoo poet laureate Gordon Hamilton has written a wonderful poem, here’s a little piece of it:
Jaguar Julie’s traveling Squid, across the ocean went,
To start his world tour in style, to Scotland he was sent;
Auld Reekie’s winds blow cold and fierce, Squid shivered like a lamb,
So Gordon took him to the pub and warmed him with a dram.
The next stop for the traveling Squid was foggy London town,
Where AJ was the lady, who would show him around;
She showed him all the city sights, he saw the London Eye,
Then all too soon she packed him up and waved to him good-bye.
So far and wide the Squid did roam, the green and fertile land,
The people they were many, who deemed to lend a hand;
The Squid he took in Nottingham and Sherwood Forest, too,
He took in many places, each one fresh and new.

Robin, I thank you first of all for showcasing the traveling squid project. Special thanks to the VERY first lensmaster to participate in this project, Gordon Hamilton. Gordon has contributed considerably to the success of this project. He also launched his companion charity project, The Five Dollar Vacation. So, imagine my delight when I saw that Gordon had written such a cool poem celebrating the 6-month journey. I am very touched to have been a part of something so incredible.
