From Larry W0AIB
At the Beryl breakfast this morning, Saturday 04-04-2009
I received this poem written by Bill Brashier, WD0ALE(SK),
in celebration of a special net conducted by Beryl on July 4/5, 1993.
ODE TO “PAUL REVERE” THE 2nd, Bill Brashier, WD0ALE (SK)
(Otherwise known as Beryl Masters, WB0EJJ)
Each Saturday night - all Hams of good cheer
Check into a net - called the “Paul Revere”
At the stroke of Midnight - Beryl - “EJJ”
Sends sounds of horse hooves and then the horse neigh!
‘Tis from Kansas City - not the Old North Church
His signal comes on - from his “Waldo” perch
Beryl is the master - of Ham Radio fame
And a record of check-ins - tonight is his aim!
“HEAR YE! - HEAR YE!” - You’ll hear Beryl say
That “Towncrier Voice” - from WB0EJJ
Then tens over a hundred - will soon check in
And - Beryl knows them all - asking, “Where they’ve been?”
All Hams know Beryl - from far and wide
He’s “saddled and spurred” - and ready to ride
‘Twas “One if by land - Two if by sea”
So - This cliche in rhyme - to him from me.
Manny - ZED X H - I’ll give him his due
Asked me to write this poem for you
to share with others - ‘Tis a pleasure it be
Signed, Bill - WD0ALE
Bill then added this verse in recognition of the special net:
The total check-ins - three hundred and forty-three
Through Weird QRM’ers - showed how it could be
Though in Revolutionary days - they just took in stride
Tonight Beryl took “Paul Revere” - on their famous “night ride!”
Comment: There are still many hams who fondly remember
Beryl Masters, WB0EJJ, and his wife, Joyce.
Note about Bill, WD0ALE: Bill Brashier worked many years
for the Kansas City Police Department
and was well known for his extemporaneous poetry.
Thank you and 73,
Larry, W0AIB
