Sometimes you flirted

Not so many years older than me
But I remember a time or two
When you used that phrase
"Respect your elders"
And all I did was laugh at you
But here now is no more laughing at your expense
So not fair for you to prove that "older" bit
I am quite sure you didn't choose the time or day
But couldn't you negotiate a later date?
I was trying for a reunion
For all us San Diegans Geeks
I know this is so selfish of me
I don't want you to be gone on to the other side
Just not fair for you to leave us behind
But since you have
We are going to party like its 1999
All in your honor
No matter where we are

Sorry for your loss Ducky.
