A Farewell Gift
(Mary Beth has kindly given permission
for her poem and
story to be published)
Curtains for Kurt
Full Name:
Mary Beth DePersio (World Finer Foods, Inc.) Thanks. Mary Beth DePersio
Curtains for Kurt
I'm sorry Kurt,
but it's curtains for you, my
friend,
although we're sorry to see you
go,
every good story needs a good
end.
And as those curtains draw
across the stage
and you take your final bow,
there's a few things we should
say
and we'll try to say them -
somehow.
You see, you are so loyal and
dependable,
when you say you're going to do
something - it gets done,
you've bought so many
successful brands to our shores,
apart from Pierre Cardin (we'll
forget that one!)
And from the small beginnings
in a loft,
the American Marketing Team has
grown and grown,
much of that success,
especially in the early years,
was because of all the effort
that you've shown.
And you will be sadly missed,
by us and many more
and we just wanted to wish you
bon voyage,
that's really what these words
are for.
And you may have to batten down
the hatches,
especially when the next good
blow comes in,
of course you'll manage in your
normal style,
effortlessly and with that
satisfied grin.
And you've made many an impact,
as you've worked steadfastly
over the years,
Frank Muchel, Peter Leiendecker, Joyce
Loter,
Dit Van Clief (let's not forget
John Beers).
And one last word of advice,
because, after all, you're
hearty and hale,
don't brew too much of that
wonderful drop,
your beer called "Little House
Ale".
And now you'll spend more time
with Blair
and you'll sail off to sun
soaked climes
and we wish you continued joy
and happiness,
just another reason for these
rhymes.
In fact, those sails are your
curtains
and now you'll have time for
many an horizon new,
just know that we'll miss you
heaps
and that we're very proud of
you.
