At today's PMUG meeting we officially sent De Previous Prez Allen Laudenslager off to Denver, to his new home. Elaine read the following:

Email sent to Allen Laudenslager,

11-11-10:

Do not be alarmed,

But someone purporting to be “Allen L”

Has aroused our suspicion!

He threatens to move to someplace called D -

Now, how is that for wishin’

But we have reason to believe

That the email in question

is baloney.

Why would anyone who lives currently

In Prescott, Arizon-ee

Pull up stakes, stuff suitcases

And pack up his Mac;

Wave goodbye, completely?

The very idea makes me

Question someone’s sanity!

Should said email be true

We would feel sad,

And pout and frown;

How could such a good guy

Leave and let us down!

Part Two of this Ballad,

11-13-10:

OK, stop the sniveling,

‘Tis time to brave up and

Try to somehow smile;

We value our memories of him,

That makes this rhyme worthwhile.

We’ve had it verified by

Allen Laudenslager!

The previous prez

Has written to substantiate

‘Twas true what the email sez.

He moves north to brave the snow!

Off he goes, now it’s up to us

To toughen up and go

To display our better manners

which we will try to show.

Onward PMUG, there’s work to do:

Gather when we can

To learn, and then to share;

We appreciate each other . . .

How much we really care!
