I remember the first time I saw her
and it was a few years back at that... She was trudging across campus and she was wearing a wonderful hat! Often knitted, but of sterling character Her chapeaux she would change often And when she smiled (she still does now) Somehow the day would soften... Her attitude is one of concern. Her beliefs are deep and true. She’s a real friend to many most especially me and you! The fact that she’ll be missed is not in doubt around these parts. She’ll still be here though Somewhere close to our hearts! CATTLE FLOGGING I used to call it. She said that was too violent an allusion. She said that was just too organized, didn’t take into account the confusion. The big part of her job I gathered was to make sense and organize. I know it’s all too complex for me to grab, But this I do surmise... When she’s out of here we’ll miss her including her delightful hats. She’s always got a viewpoint I think I’ll miss mostly that. So I want to say Au Revoir Happy Retirement, you well deserve Like Martin Mull I won’t say goodbye I’ll just say Hors de oeuvre Good Luck! |
