Joinery

Planning the big day
at a gallery in the sky.
Celebrating a bond so dear,
even the bride
will run out of tears.

Adieu

Heading down the road
but not too far away
come wish me well
on my second to last day

It has been a pleasure
to say the least
It’s been real
taming the SAIC beast

Let’s toast to the past
and begin anew
Thursday, after five
$3 beers all night

Hope to see you
at the Silversmith
on Wabash Avenue
to raise a glass with gratitude

Dearest colleagues near and far:
I’ll be at the bar.
