Tribute

Dear dell dear dell
Before you came... life was hell
We were stuck down a well
You lifted us up and helped us gel

For some of us, you've been a pal
For the rest....sensational
You read the minds of senior personnell
And our syllabuses you help us sell
Now everyone knows lit and el
Soon we will go national

Always the professional
Even in track shoes -formidable
Soon on the third floor you will dwell
The journey with you has been incredible

Dear dell dear dell
You are truly non paril
We are so going to miss you as you can tell
With our hands on our hearts we bid you farewell
Now we ring this bell
Amd we wish you well wish you well

Draft 2

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
Your track shoes are 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!

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

We would have liked to write a villenelle
Or at least offer you chocolate with caramel
Instead all we have is this little bell
And a few lines that run pel mel

Thanks for boosting our morale
It feels like we are losing a precious jewel

Even as we sing jingle bell
