Gone Pecan

Richard created a sensational salad,
And a marvelous malted milk cake.
I went to collect Jack’s stories,
In which we all have a stake.

Mountaintop Mary made pizza dough,
While Richard and Don stoked the fire.
We had hours of laughter and fun --
My need to celebrate was dire.

Richard’s got his dog tag on;
Charlie and Deborah checked in.
The snow flurries are beginning;
Time for good-byes to begin.

I’ve got all my ducks in a row,
With Adam and Josie on call.
It’s was time to head down south
For a Saint-sational “Who Dat” ball.

I’m gone pecan;
See you later alligator.
Take care of each other;
Dinner’s in the ‘frigerator.
