Thanks For The Memories

From General Pettygree

Some may remember Bob Hope's theme song, Thanks For The Memory

Bill's version goes like this. 

Thanks for the memories,

For our many 2019 companionable games,

Good and dreadful dice

And chuckles when someone said,

You won or you lost.

How fun it was.

Thanks for the memories,

Listening to music CDs and Alexa's serenades,

Colorful little people on the table

In early, late or all-day games,

Plus puzzling and good rules

And games we hope to play.

How terrific it was.

We who could laugh over big things

Were occasionally parted by small things.

I wonder if we did the right thing.

Oh well, that's life I guess.

Thanks for the memory,
Of faults that you forgave and
For scenarios gone astray.
Thank you very much.

Thanks for the memory,
For shared collections and homes,
Of cats, dogs and grandchildren dropping by,
For compelling hopes and plans,
Understanding spouses,
Good chow and birthday cake.
How terrific it was.

Thanks for the memory
for skirmish, medium, BIG and Spectacle games.
Fun car rides to away games.
About miniatures we hope to use
And rules we've yet to try.
How compelling this was.

Very glad I know you,
See you in 2020, God willing.
Thank you for these memories.
