In Boston Mass did SIAM Hath

Although incognito, Coleridge was also present at the 2006 SIAM Annual Meeting, held in Boston in July 2006. Below is his report on the meeting. When he asked me to post his report, I attempted to correct his spelling of "Tenser" but he insisted it was correct in this context.

Xanadu, by Coleridge In Boston Mass did SIAM hath by T. D.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.

In Boston Mass did SIAM hath
a lively conference, week past.
Where endless urns of coffee ran;
Tenser products measureless to math,
From one to speaker last.
