Your services to the Fort have been indelibly etched in the Fort
Annals........the many Birthday Parties you were wont to announce when
you blew the Conch, summoning so many from the 4 quarters of the Globe
to come together in so many monthly jamborees...way back in the good
times before the diaspora, ......the badges you distributed with such
largesse,.....& your other goodly acts which, as was said of the godly
Antony, were as golden plates dropped from your pocket.
But there we are, all journeys come to an end, even if it's often
better, as they tell us, to travel hopefully than to arrive. Yet now
that your apprentice wizardry has run its course, you will
understandably be eager to rejoin your fellow wizards over at OZ. A
word, therefore, in your ear. On your journey out of Munchkin Country
remember to follow The Yellow-Brick Road. But beware.....there are two
Brick Roads, & Dorothy took the harder one & would have come a
cropper, had she not had such a helpful film crew to hand. Don't make
that mistake for once you leave the Fort you will be on your own.....I
would lend you my sturdy wheelbarrow for the conveyance of your
private chattels had FeNToN not run off with it.
The Fort Flame may not be burning so brightly as of yore but we'll try
to keep a little candle burning against the cold. Keep an eye open for
it if you pass this way again. Till when, all the best
Mrs Toffee Knees.
