Dear Greg,

Here's a four line version of your original (I know it doesn't look as good):

Greg    \  |  /                 "Wanderer" names me the World;
Webster  \ | / Kick@vcn.bc.ca    widely have I wandered: 
 _,-'"~"`.\|/.'"~"`-._            on the Earth's back 
/_____________________\            I have travelled far.
