Goodbye Denis Reardon

A magazine that by Millstreet and Duhallow migrants was read Worldwide
It is so sad to learn that The Clara News has died
The editor Denis Reardon his last editorial is  to write
For future news from the Millstreet Parish refer to the Milltsreet web site

Yes The Clara News editor Denis Reardon has called it a  day
But everything does have an ending since life is this way
Nothing last forever as some do like to say
The former fair Rose of Duhallow now cloaks her wrinkles and gray

Goodbye to Denis Reardon everyone must do for one's self what is best
In his literary career he is taking a rest
But if he should return to journalism in the future it would not be a surprise
As old loves do die hard from the  mouths of the  wise

Though for some of his editorials some of his political opponents did wish him in hell
Denis always does have a good story to tell
In life to make friends you will make a few foes
This is how it does have to be one must suppose

There is a silver lining to every dark cloud
Goodbye Denis Reardon you did yourself proud
Like it or not in The Clara News of your feelings you left none in doubt
Everyone who read you knew of what you were on about

The  Clara News  is now history to the forever gone
And time it does not wait and life does go on
And though the magazine he has edited is now of the past
One has the feeling of Denis that we have not heard the last.
