The O must go on!
by Rick and Dayle Lavine

When we returned from the meet, our answering machine was full of messages asking whether the meet would be cancelled. Our answer is the following (imagine it sung in a loud annoying voice with a New Yawk accent):

There's no business like O business,
There's no business I say,
What if there is lightning when you're hanging
Flags for the meet set for the next day?
What if there's no Velcro to hold on numbers?
Masking tape may make those numbers stay!

There's no people like O people,
They smile when they're in a depression.
What if it is pouring in the morning?
Maybe it will stop before we run!
What if Trailside's filled with Studebakers?
We can set up tents and have more fun!

There's no meet like an O meet,
There's no meet I maintain,
What if there are no control descriptions printed?
We'll copy them, but what do those symbols mean?
What if our feet are wet and muddy?
A stream crossing will make them wet and clean!

There's no people like O people,
There's no people I know.
If you can't beat Gil or Sergey,
You still can surely go
Faster than somebody
So let's go on with the O!
