What a year, what a blast

(Not sure how it went so fast!)

But somehow we've ended up in late July,

And it's with such a heavy heart

That the time's come to depart

And I have to wave a hand and say goodbye.

​

​

You've been such a great support

When it's been frantic and been fraught

And I don't know what I'll do from September,

Because I won't have you to greet

(And nab a spare fast learning sheet!)

And know all the things I didn't quite remember!

​

​

It just won't be the same

Without our laughs and silly games

And our argy-bargy getting to the printer,

Without our grumbles, moans and bitches

(And your frequent computer glitches)

You might need some more duct tape to fix the inter(net!)

​

​

I'll miss our PPA,

To the library and cafe

And our lunches outside sitting in the sun,

I'll miss discussing family sagas

(And BBQ-ing time swinging lagers!)

And the ridiculousness of our daily fun!

​

​

Please lets keep in touch

(And don't work late too much!)

Perhaps now and then I can come and visit?

So don't despair and don't dread

That it's Henry instead

As a partner in crime, you have been exquisite!
