Tribute 3

Draft 3

Dear dell dear dell
Before you came...
life wasn’t quite so swell
the office had a smell
and other things we’ll let Leonard tell

You got to work, helped us gel
For some of us, you became a pal
For the rest, well, sensational
Even in track shoes so very professional
As a pacesetter you’ve got no parallel

You tapped the pulse of Ps and KPs, our clientele
You read the minds of senior personnell
(What they might say, you often did foretell)
And helped us do our show-and-tell
Soon our syllabi will go national!

Thanks for boosting our morale
It feels like we are losing a precious jewel
We would have liked to write you a villenelle
Or at least offer you chocolate with caramel
All we have, alas, are a few lines written pel mel

Dear dell dear dell
Soon on the third floor you will dwell
We are going to miss you as you can tell
Dear Dell dear Dell
We bid you a fond farewell...

Dear dell dear dell
You are really such a rebel
