Change of Direction

Jonathan is leaving,
so should we shed a tear?
or wait until he offers us
a farewell wine or beer.

His successor is from London,
No Doughty’ll welcome be;
But Staff & Volunteers
will have to wait & see!

He sorted out the Cutty Sark
(for us she’s far too tall!!) -
we’d love square-rigged boats on Waterfront
and a figurehead in Main Hall.
