====== Joseph Thence (Gareth J-J) ======

Well here's to good old Joseph Thence,\\ A Boggie through and through;\\ We miss you, Joseph, sorely; hence\\ We raise a toast to you.\\ Your views were coloured by events -\\ You nailed them to the mast;\\ We'll drink to you, poor Joseph Thence\\ A good man to the last.

You went to talk to Yellowstone\\ When all the trees were dead.\\ You tried to tell it to atone\\ And thence the flames you spread.\\ Your sweet intent brought heat intense\\ You braved the fiery blast;\\ We'll drink to you, poor Joseph Thence\\ A good man to the last.

A health campaigner you became;\\ The City took its dues.\\ You tried to play it at its game\\ And thence could only lose.\\ As it ex//pounds// at your ex//pense//,\\ The revenue is vast;\\ We'll drink to you, poor Joseph Thence\\ A good man to the last.

You woke the horse upon the hill\\ It rose at your behest,\\ But when you knew its wicked will\\ You laid it thence to rest.\\ You made amends, displayed immense\\ Repentance for your past;\\ We'll drink to you, poor Joseph Thence\\ A good man to the last.

Your daughter went into the wild\\ To listen to its song.\\ The wolves they took that little child,\\ And thence it all went wrong.\\ The scent of death, the death of sense,\\ You stood alone, aghast;\\ We'll drink to you, poor Joseph Thence\\ A good man to the last.

When folly raised the Behemoth,\\ You knew your cause was just.\\ You faced the desert's searing wrath\\ And thence dispersed as dust.\\ Your brave defense caused grave offense,\\ It happened all too fast;\\ We'll drink to you, poor Joseph Thence\\ A good man to the last.

**- A favourite song among Boggies, commonly sung at Convocation.**
