(Orignially published in 2013. OG had talked about what happens as the Society grows older. He remembered EVERY name of the Pennsic Legends who could no longer be here. We will ensure that this legend is always remembered and honored. – Heirusalem and the Staff of PI)

 

''I REMEMBER OZYMANDIAS''

The Shelley Poem  A statue stands neglected

 forgotten alone in the desert

I know the feeling   I think we all do

It would take little time for us to be all but sadly forgotten

I know this fear I hope it is somewhat normal

I have a friend every year we would toast

his fallen squire brother with Drambuie

Sadly he can no longer attend

I now drink to him and his squire brother

as long as someone remembers your name

and good works   You are still with us

--or your pranks and insanity--

Setting in the back of a cop car saying

''That was fun - Lets do it again!!!"

You are still remembered   Still among us

Lords and Ladies………

Charge your glasses and raise them high

Tonight we drink to them: The ones who can no longer attend  You are remembered

When you return to the mundane world again

we will have to call them and tell them that

We ''And OG'' drank to then today

 

       Drink well   

             Drink often   

                 Drink with

                                    OG
