POINT - COUNTERPOINT
©1997
By Dolly Juhlin
Past years the Soapbox sailed in its glory
Online, in tune, with many a sea story
It started out a Godsend, fun for one and all
Networking many lives, everyone had a ball
Time took its toll, it was decommissioned
- Fred sought a way to renew its mission
Can do, no problem, the old Coastie said
Overhauled & refurbished, don't call it dead
Understanding the need of info & sharing
Nine thousand plus members, most of them caring
Time-out was called for the old guard and new
Everyone wondered what ol' Fred would do
Rules were laid out for the Coasties to use
Point-Counterpoint was launched, recommissioned & new
October 1st was the day to go down in infamy
In a flash pals were back in a new-found unity
Never say never, it could happen again
Take time to smell the roses & thank Fred our loyal friend
