Sometimes we’re very lucky, and, see something quite unique,
A moment in time that happens but once, and we’re privileged to gain a peek,
It might be the death of a famous person, a king or head of state,
Or it may be the birth of a little child, in a manger at a long-ago date.
Or it may be something more humble, but a momentous event to be sure,
Someone achieving a difficult goal; a goal of great local grandeur.

We’ve got one this day at this great site, by a person we all hold dear,
A person whose posts are witty and sharp, a person immensely sincere.
I feel especially lucky, that I am here to say,
Pixies now has a new hero, a games-playing true gourmet.
He’s been working hard for a very long time, and this is the fruit of his labor,
It‘s a moment of joy and celebration, a moment I hope he will savor..

Jseal, to you my hat is off, you’re now the leader of us guys,
In terms of posting you are now, a new literary sunrise.
Keep up your wonderful tradition, and blaze a new path we can follow,
A maestro of posting allegro; a study in written legato.
Your time to shine is now rising, and we’ll look to you for direction,
Hats off to you my friend, good luck on your quest for perfection.


Great job, jseal!

For me … I’ll just end my tenure with an ol‘ expression used at the passing of leaders:

“The King is Dead; God Save the King!”

For one of the neatest guys around ... jseal, this thread's for you!
