A poem to farewell Esperanto, upon its closing, by CTC Chairman Patrick Campion.
Esperanto, Esperanto…
Adios Amigo.
50 years of fine food & vino
& of silver service just supremo,
But they say this is finito.
So where the hell do we go
to hear piano & sip mojitos,
for crème brulee & mango?
There’s no substitute that we know.
Is this really the last fandango?
Let’s raise a toast to our faded hero!
Bravo,bravo Esperanto !!
And in the international lingo;
“Adiauo & por la memoroi, danko”
(goodbye & thanks for the memories).
