A Farewell to Raimond
We gathered in the basement,
The tenants and the staff,
To bid farewell and have a drink
And maybe share a laugh.
A doorman is retiring
With 30 years behind,
A presence whose familiar face
Provided peace of mind.
The space was tight and lacking
Any festive frills or fluff,
Yet people ate and schmoozed and that
Appeared to be enough.
Another chapter ending
So we wish him all the best.
He will certainly be missed by me,
As surely you have guessed.
