Ode to the list!
I love you! I must say,
With your bountiful knowledge
and your helpful ways.

When I'm stranded under my van
without a single clue
I can always smile at myself
knowing there's always you!

When my fridge won't light
or my heads spring a leak
I type a few short words
and dozens people speak.

When the top won't pop
or my Westy starts to buck
not once do I feel
like I'm short on luck.

There's always Ken Wilford
or even Bus Depot
with some helpful suggestions
on how to spend my dough.

Don't forget BenT
or that guy Terry K
with wise cracks abounding
about the errors in my ways.

Karl Wolz with his cheeky prose
and a fresh point of view
Yes, even that Marshall guy,
I love all of you.

But, when things get boring
with just one hundred emails
we can all count
on every Frye Daye.

The off-topic posts
or the occasional flaming war
means really nothing.
No one keeps a score.

So, ode to the list!
Here, here! Here, here!
Now I can drive my Vanagon
with almost no fear.


Chris,

'85 Westy.
