Getting Together Some Friends got together, And shared a dream one day. Of meeting all thier cyber fiends, They play online with everyday. Together as one they thought, Together as one they planned. A fun filled weekend for all, To enjoy hand in hand. Pinochle was the game of choice, A common interest we all shared. A tourney planned, A date was set, To host this friendly affair. The stage was set for all to meet, In PERSON if we dared. The days past by, the weekend neared, The excitment was everywhere. To finally meet those online friends, We came from far and near. A real face put to those cyber names, Which in our hearts we held so dear. Twas a cool October evening, As we gathered at the hall. You could feel the excitment, As the host's introduced us all. One by one we said hello, There were smiles on every face. And to think of all those cyber {{HUGS}}, Which tonight became real embraces. We all sat around and chatted, Drinking coffee, pop, and such. Soon cards were being dealt, Cause we're a Pinochle addicted bunch. Saturday was the tourney, For breakfast we all met. Then rules were placed before us, There was a kitty for every set. The teams then drew for tables, For the tourney was about to start. Everyone took thier places, There was joy in every heart. Fun and laughter was abundent, As the 18 teams rallied. 6 games were played, 6 hands each, The points then were tallied. When all was said and done, We gathered for a feast. Then the prizes were awarded, But the greatest gift was just to meet. I thank those friends who made this dream, Of meeting online friends come true. May you be blessed with happiness, Sincerest wishes from me to you. By Precious Jem© |
