Say Hello, Wave Goodbye………

Say Hello, Wave Goodbye………


Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo
Crying in the rain
It was a kind of so so love
And I'm going to make sure it never
Happens again
You and I………….

Once upon a time, for quite a long time really, we were in love with our LVD Shape punch. It brought us happiness by thumping away, punching and nibbling to its hearts content.  Ok, it was a bit old and infirm but it did the job. 

Suddenly its life support was disconnected. It is legacy we were told, no place for legacy anymore in the modern world, support, maybe, perhaps, but it has issues, and those that previously loved it like we did started to seem disinterested and unwilling to devote their time and energy into keeping it alive. 

We asked around, others had similar issues. What should we do?  We still loved it. We nursed it, kept it calm, but we really knew the end was nigh. 

Today, we have put it down. A humane response we feel. But still saddened to see it depart for the afterlife…….

Footnote: Steel is the most recycled material in the world and uses up to 74% less energy than producing new steel.  Next time you eat a can of beans, remember our much loved LVD and how useful it became.
