Festival at Amy’s

There is a rule for festivals, and this is how it goes,
Assuredly it’s something that just everybody knows.
Every festive party, and every jolly place,
Deserves to have some friends around, with smiles upon each face.

So enter, friend and wear your smile, and all your jolly clothes,
We wouldn’t want to flout a rule that everybody knows.
We’ve minstrels and refreshments, and a strolling bard or two,
And I’m sure you’ll find a message that is meant for only you.

Bump and Ping!

Hi JustAmy! Hi Everyone!!!

[Old Sarge]

That’s My Boss!

When people are in trouble, and all seems to be so wrong,
A man steps forth without the crowd, to be so gently strong,
and demonstrates determination, without being cross,
and you're proud to say to all around who hear you, "That's My Boss!"

He calls no attention, makes no pretense, knows just what he needs,
to bring us comfort, resolve and strength - or simply put, he leads;
Just like a pro, he'll deftly field what evil men will toss,
and they just stand in shock and awe, while the troops say, "That's My Boss!"

He's walked with us, he's worn our boots, flown with us in the skies,
a steel glance that withers, if you dare to meet those eyes,
but also, can shed healing tears, as rain on forest moss,
and that lump just will not leave your throat, as you murmur, "That's My Boss!"

So, jaded pol or hardened cynic, meet this noble man,
belittle him, if you dare, or try to best him, if you can,
for even hardest heart will change, and take up America's cause,
and you'll stand along with me, and say with feeling, "That's My Boss!"

We just received word from archy last night that he was injured in a hit-and -run accident. So far as we know, he has a broken leg. Hookman and I will let y'all know as soon as we have any more details. I'm sure he would appreciate all our prayers. Don't know if he's near a computer, but he may enjoy hearing from folks when he has access.
