Heather!

[Stephen Whiteside]

Who's the one who calms the seas through dark and stormy weather,
Who navigates between extremes? Our moderator, Heather!
Who's the one who tends creased brows with touch light as a feather?
Who ministers to fragile bards? Again, of course, it's Heather!
Who's the one who ties with not too long nor short a tether
To keep the forum sweet and clean? You guessed, I know. It's Heather!

Heather keeps the boat afloat. Heather keeps it sailing.
Heather is the one to whom we turn if it is ailing.
Heather keeps the horses fed, and pumps up sagging tyres.
In spite of metaphors all mixed, she comforts and inspires.

Heather, don't go riding off at sunset on your horse.
Stay when you are needed now. We beg you! Hold the course.
Heather, do not take your boat to shore. Please, stay at sea.
Your talents and your skills and nous are needed desperately.

Who can make the poets work as one, and pull together?
I know you know of whom I speak. The one and only…Heather!
