Sannino is Gone

Anything that keeps the thread going!

 

There are hackles which this often raises
Though for others it mainly amazes
That our thread still goes on
And our mots remain bon
As we use them to sing Beppe's praises

 

To Theo, a Happy New Year
To Dave; a glass of good cheer
To Leo no fret
It's not going yet
And to Beppe your thread's staying here

 

Fine words Charlie - but it is one thread away from oblivion as I post this - see what happens when Theo goes on holiday ?
Oh blow - I just rescued it !!!

 

Well done Leo, I knew you loved it!

 

I am sure I am not the only guardian angel waiting silently in the wings to say hello to Bepe if he wanders away too far and gets "lost".

 

Well Pike you have just gone on my list

(assuming you are old enough to remember Dad's Army )

 

Vell capitain Leo, I haff zee list alzo.

 

Don't tell 'em your name Pike!

 

Nor you Mark, they don't like it up 'em

 

DON'T PANIC!!!!!

 

Though Beppe has long since departed
Upsetting all but our one lion-hearted
Who'll be saddened to hear
That Theo's still here
His holiday hasn't yet started

 

Sannino was always our hero
He was certainly never a zero
Theo's going away
At this time, sad to say
Is just like him fiddling like Nero

 

For Beppe's return we're all yearning
As Leo is gradually learning
But while Theo's away
For two week and a day
He's hoping that Rome won't be burning

 

Just checking that all was well with the thread.

 

Though Beppe's no longer our man
He's happy to hear that a fan
Is confident knowing
That to keep this thread going
Il faut cultiver notre jardin

 

You make me cry
Just let this die
Beppe has gone
His time is done
Just say bye bye

 

Now is the time to say Goodbye
Pete and Dud used to sigh
But Leo don't you see
Other Hornets and me
Won't let your Beppe thread Die

 

Charlie and I share the blame
For prolonging this old Beppe game
But Leo can't see
That for Charlie and me
Persistence - it's our middle name
