Trade Shows

By Chris McClure Contributing Editor

It’s great to see old friends again; 

Too many are out to pasture. 

They’ve been replaced by a younger crowd 

Or gone to the ever-after. 

Those tags we wear ought to be 

Just a tad bit bigger. 

They need to list our pedigree 

So we don’t have to sit and figure 

Where and when we first met 

Or just how long it’s been 

Since last we saw each other 

And who we worked for then. 

It’s funny how the young ones 

All want to know you now 

Because if you are wandering around the show 

You’re likely the “Big Boss” now.
