AN OBITUARY

[cklaurence]

I TOOK A MOMENT TO GO BACK TODAY
(SOMETHING I OFTEN DO, I GUESS I SHOULD SAY)
TO A PAGE WE ALL KNOW, (OR SHOULD I SAY KNEW?)
AND WHAT I SAW THERE, MADE ME AWFULLY BLUE.

OUR OLD FRIEND, OLDE SWISS, IS NO LONGER THERE
I KNOW THERE ARE SOME THAT WOULD SAY, "I DON'T REALLY CARE,"
THO' ANYONE WHO'D BEEN THERE KNOWS IT'S QUITE TRUE
OLDE SWISS WAS A GREAT PLACE (FOR FRENEMIES TOO!)

ALAS IT IS TRUE, THAT CHAPTER IS DONE,
ALL THE FIGHTS, AND THE FITS, THE LAUGHTER AS ONE,
A TEAR DROP SLIDES DOWN MY RED, TEARY CHEEK
AND ALTHOUGH IT'S SLOW DEARS, I THANK GOODNESS THIS WEEK...

THAT THE NEW SWISS IS HERE, AND IT'S QUITE STRONG
THOSE WHO BLOG HERE I KNOW, CAN NEVER GO WRONG
SO REST IN PEACE MY DEAR DEAR DEAR OLDE SWISS
AND KNOW YOU'RE A PLACE THAT FOREVER, MANY WILL MISS!

LOVE IT!! Well written CK!! Olde Swiss had some GREAT TIMES!!

I kind of thought that PAO would stop by and drop a note--he was on the same post that I told LadyHawk about this at that time. Oh well, there's nothing I can do to make people WANT to be here, I guess. ]I try not to let that stuff bother me, and I think I'm getting better at it, but not better enough. "Tincture of time," my Auntie Ellie would have told me...Anybody got a beer around here? Oh man, I guess I better go on over to The Lounge, huh?
