MULTIPLE GOODBYE

Goodbye in your leaving, my good friend John.
Farewell to Wayne, who cared little for me.
Hard trials you've met, and tough battles won.
You all return to your home by the sea.
Yvette, and Rage, with whom I rarely met,
Travel well.  And gaming George, seeking fun,
I'll miss your well-intention'd ways, and yet
I know you're better off when all is done.
And Butch, and all the ones I never knew,
And all the ones who've join'd now forever;
In all our lives there's much for us to rue,
But I can't regret our time together.
I loathe that our close acquaintance should end.
Goodbye to all of you, Philip my friend.
