    On The Last Day of the First Year

    My friends – and you are my friends - - ‘cause who are you to tell me who my friends are anyway? Oops, - let me start that again –
    Dearly beloved - - no, I did that one over 48 years ago –
    Friends, Romans, Countrymen – nope, that isn’t it either –
    Let me just say –

    T’was just about a year ago
    When I sat down to my first post
    I tried to make it all just so
    And now the year is all but toast.

    I’ve made some friends along the way
    And shared some happy times, and sad
    Now at year’s end I’d like to say
    That posting here was not half bad.

    Even though with all those yammers
    I can’t believe the posts I made
    I would bet some silk pajamas
    I couldn’t post more if I was paid.

    So ring the bell and chime the chime
    And send the year to well earned rest
    I’d quickly bet a dollar to a dime
    That you folks here are all the best.

    To all you over tolerant people – I love knowing you.
    Burt

      Burt,

      So glad you came here to roost
      You gave us all a needed boost

      We can't believe it's been a year
      Since you came aboard and brought such cheer

      Your posts are great, your posts are grand
      You're not afraid to take a stand

      The HCMA, you've filled with smiles
      Your knowledge, you know, goes for miles

      So a special thank you goes back to you
      From one and all... and me, too!

      Debbie
