20    You've built on the bonds that hold us together.
21    But we understand it's time to cut the tether.
22    Laura and the children, how could you stay away?

1    We are no match for them; we cannot say you nay.
2    We have to note our David, too, as he's done more than his
3     fair share.
4    In fact, we'll more than miss this totally dynamic pair;
5    and be it further
 
6    RESOLVED, That:
7    We doff our hat to Doffie; to David raise a glass.
8    They gave us their hearts, their souls and they did it all
9     with class.
10    Come back and visit anytime, you'll be our favorite guest.
11    Good cheer to David and Doffie. We wish you the very best.
