Of a farewell

During the long hours of the day
In an amicable, amenable, amiable way
A personal assistant laboured to lay
No end of notes, memos, comments on a tray.
Now however the time has dawned to pay
E’en in the merry month of May
My kindest regards, respects, or, – hey
Are we saying she’s going and now not to stay?
Remember her words without any delay.
Clarifying her meaning, it’s never gray.
How then to speak of this bright ray:
An ember of brightness hidden in clay?
Not only that, but we are bound to say
To Dianne, for the best we hope – olé.

Jaded walls

Jaded walls coming into view
Energetically rising over
An empty void with silver touch
Nuances of the days before we left
When urgent Notes burst into view
Exactingly entered calling over
By silent Word with easy touch
Before Abacical beads were bereft
Justly they wept for in long ago days
Who but Jean Webb knew the way through the maze?

Words of farewell

 
 
of
who

he,
  
  
  

he 
     
     
     

 Preparing himself to
Address the crew
Unusual querists
Like to call through,

Caring to help them
Like every good man
In a trice with a shift,
Now control, then oftèn,

Touches the heart as
One only can, who has
Now declared a day
To begin a new plan.

Relevant and
Assuaging
Charming and
Helpful as
Every one should
Loudly praise her name,
   For Gilham
Readily
All who come,
Considerate
Heraculum.
Extol her,
Listlessly transport her,
For her name!
