SCOPE CHRISTMAS POEM 2005

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah and hear
Friends, Romans and colleagues please still lend me an ear
So at this last big Scope Meeting of the year
We may laugh together, and maybe shed a tear

Another good Year we have seen together go by
With some stories of joy and some to make you cry
New faces appeared and Scope did in large diversify
As Old ones moved by, some sad with a heavy sigh

But like good soldiers we all marched on
Singing the unknown, secret Scoper song
To the steady rhythm of the Downstream Gong
As this tremendous year did move along

Now here we are by another Christmas door
Waiting for festivities and prices galore
And a gift is graciously given on the floor
To whose dress-sense is festively not poor

But one other item we must not forget
The annual tradition found in the Scoper net
As the birth-rate has been sanctimoniously set
So for the growing family, Steve, you must get.

And with that I close this meeting
Let's have some lunch and get some seating
And don’t let me do all the eating.
