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 !!!
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".
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
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
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
