I miss my friend on PCF (1 Viewer)

Old Mother Ben
Sat on a wren
Eating his fried cheese curds,
He let out a “Hey!”
I killed Gematria the other day
Since then there is no one to mock

@bergs Defeat of Gematria summarized in haiku:

Gematria? No!
Run along you effing schmo.
Fake number games blow.


Also, we still miss you, @Ben8257.
 
@Ben8257 is a patriot. I’m just waiting to logon to PCF and have Rick Derringer blasting “Real American” for Ben’s next entrance!

This feels like a ChipRoom sale hitting refresh waiting for the triumphant return of Ben.

I’ve reached out to Ben a couple times during his hiatus because I missed him around here. Now, I will publicly say “PLEASE COME BACK @Ben8257 “ I could really use a Ben book about now. This place isn’t the same without you. And you talked me into a meetup, so you better be there.
 
Yeh I'm gonna chime in too. Last year I got sick and had a hiatus from poker, chipping and PCF. On return couple months ago have to say even this absolute rookie new guy felt the absence of @Ben8257 - what a great guide and companion and voice of reassurance for an overwhelmed and nervous new chipper. Will remember that and hope to reconnect at some point
 
Poltergeist questioned my rhythm
So of course I am arguing with’m
I’m old and I’m white
But my sweet rhymes are tight
I miss Ben and we’re better off with’m
Close, but no banana. Tighten it up:

Is much better ... very Ogden Nash-ish ;)
 
Does this please your poetic needs?

@RivieraDanny and everyone else here: Guys - I know you mean well. And I'm sure @Ben8257 does too. But give your boy some time. He'll emerge* when he's ready.

*Edited to add: I use this term deliberately.

I’m not sure one is righter or wronger but it’s all good. For the record, I usually model mine after the Nantucket classic, which explains the extra syllable in my 4th line.

As he wiped off his chin
 
Hickory Dickory Dock,
Most people here I do mock,
The clock struck two
Ben, where the fuck are you?

There once was a guy from Nantucket….

Just like saying Beetlejuice 3x makes him appear....
