My Kind of Town...Chicago Is

[Robt Z]

Where did the time go?
Am I really home now?
Feel like I still wanna go
To the reunion pow wow

The Ram was fun
Good food for all
so much love in that room
we all had a ball

The speakers who spoke
Told of their tales
As they did speak
Them Cubbies bats' did wail

The piano was played
By Billy our pal
And we all did sing
Til them marathoners' did howl!

Oh somewhere there are surgeries
and sometimes valves are replaced
but at the valvereplacement.com reunion
we all were happy faced

So to you my newest friends
and to you who could not attend
you are part of a wonderful group
and there is no heart you could not mend

Beautiful Robert! Never knew we had such talent amongst us.

Next year you must have it ready to tune! We wanna sing it along with Jean's VR.com reunion theme song!

Paul, please locate a piano we can use without upsetting management.:) Or maybe they were in a huff because we were all "sitting" on the lobby bed:D

[Lorraine]

That was great Robert! Very nicely put. Yes, we'll have to get a tune for that one too. Hopefully next year we can find a piano where the management will let us sing! Now we'll have two great songs to sing. You reflected on our reunion , quite eloquently! Thank You!

Gina, you're right. It was probably because of the lobby bed!:D :D

Wow, Robert! That is EXCELLENT :). Thanks for sharing! A definite perfect "pal" to Jean's vr.com reunion theme song :).

And, as several of us mentioned, if people were really complaining about the piano, then they woulda been complaining even more a half hour before when we were so noisy (er, I mean quitely celebrating) in the room...........

Peace...always,

Hey Robert!

Maybe we oughtta get together and write some real songs....ya think. That was great! Did you think that one up on your drive home, or what??

And, as several of us mentioned, if people were really complaining about the piano, then they woulda been complaining even more a half hour before when we were so noisy (er, I mean quitely celebrating) in the room........... Somewhere in America, there is a cell phone tower that isn't too happy with you folks. It's still vibrating and making strange noises from your transmission. :D

Hello My Friends
sure hated to see the reunion end
still tired from the fun
hope be at the next one

I wrote all this stuff
Sitting on my duff
It's not very tough
It's real life that is rough

Well I guess I gotta rise
And get moving on this new day
Dottie just made a sigh
So with her I'm gonna play

Dont know about you
But I had much fun in the pool
The jacuzzi was nice too
That's when Cort and I were not with you

These poems just come to me
Dont know how they're gonna be
They sorta take emotion outta me
And help me feel free

A new day is here
I'm happy to be alive
Although I'm a bit melancholy
to be happy I will strive

Robert,

I just LOVE your poems!! You described the reunion beautifully. It would be really cool if we could blend your poems with the pictures. I'm going to collect copies of everyone’s pictures from reunions past and make a big photo album to bring to next years reunion.

It was such a pleasure to meet you and Dottie. If you’re ever close to Cortez, you just gotta bring Dottie over to meet Onyx. :)

We'll make sure Dottie is welcome where ever we end up next year. She's a vr.com reunion must!

[Ross]

NOOOOOOOO Rain, we don't need 2 dogs in the flower bed!!! :D

[Rain]

I think Dottie would be a good influence on Onyx. :p

Dem dear Cubbies
Are tryin' hard
To get to da series
To cheer their mob

Da Yanks too are tryin'
To get dere again
Dey've won it alot
Can dey do it again?

Each day is a game
the whole woild is watchin'
Da Series will be great
da fans will be marchin'

I'm rootin fer da Yanks
I always did so
Would love ta see da Cubs
dere fans go wo wo

But dem marlins & dem Bosox
Alive as I write
Wont go away easy
They'll put up a fight

Cant go on no longer
Cant say no more
Gotta watch that tv
Gotta see dem bums score!

Hey Robert,

Take Care
