Thank You and Farewell from EK

The time has come, I’m sad to say,
For me to pack my things away;
My heart and soul from four great years,
Into a chest they disappear.
 

First I box up two icons,
For whom we all were merely pawns,
In proper sequence off they go:
Deltalina after Flo.
 

The next four items to be packed,
Are fit into a corner stack;
Tic-Tac-Toe, C4, Yahtzee,
And my perfecto (0-for-3).
 

Everything from PCS
Is next to go into the chest,
Sailors, chess, the Cub’s used tent,
Venn diagrams and “answer sent.”
 

And any space left in the bin,
I fill with random odds and ends,
Abes and Babes, Jimbo and Vma
And Broheims mackin' on Neeebs' mom.
 

To Pedro, Lasorda, AC, D-line:
We bros sure had an awesome time,
Which never would have come to pass
Without the tireless Orel and Sax.
 

And for you all in cyberspace,
A great big bro-hug from EK;
My deepest thanks I do express,
For loving the ridiculous.
  

So as I leave I sadly toast,
All at the bar (each one a ghost?),
We may be trained to kill Kill KILL,
But miss you all I will will will.

Yes folks, I'm very sad to say I will be going on hiatus (though I will surely still hang out as a reader/commenter). Thank you everyone, Readers and Brothers alike, for a fantastic ride. I will indeed miss everyone and everything very much. But fear not, I assure you, you are left in very good hands (stay tuned)...
