Who will call the roll today,
and count the absentees?
Who will close these ragged ranks
still standing in the breeze?

Where are the signs that marked the roads,
the rooms where there was play,
with backers waiting just inside
to make the traveler's day?

Those warriors who still remain
and cherish memories;
their names endure, their games do not,
there's no more mysteries.

For they were players, never doubt,
but that was yesterday.
Let's toast them now, along with those
already gone away.

A year from now, when summer comes,
we'll call their names again,
and one by one, we hope they'll stand
and holler - yeah, I'm in!

Sweet. Another Vapros original. I can whip up a chorus and it should go good with 'Where Have All The Flowers Gone' tune. We'll let the Kingston Trio record it. Oops. Too Late. They're gone too. Well Bob S is still alive but he had a heart attack and had to retire. tic tic tic.. Hasta Luego
