SELLING THE BUILDING… SEPT 7TH,2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

They say they’re going to sell the building which I find quite sad,
And us retired guys don’t really belong, which kinda makes me mad,
Because we watched the place being built back in nineteen sixty eight,
And ever since then, we socialized there and thought the place was great.



Where we sat and danced and drank and sometimes even sang a song,
Great folks, things done in conversations and now memories long gone,
I’m sure the guys back then, would not agree with this monster mistake,
I have to stop because I think I’m getting an awful headache.


Amid fantastic memories of leadership and great things said,
From many comrades too but today, so many are long dead,
It could be compared to someone trying to sell your church,
You may have to find another one and what an awful search?
