Myachigon Tribute #1

The contest ended Wednesday Night and yesterday we all looked over the entries and chose the winner.  The winner will be announced at 6 pm, but between now and then I'll be sharing a number of the entries with you.  Many of them were too touching not to publish and I wish after reading them that I had a dozen Black Beards to give out.

I should note that I'm not presenting these in any order.  This isn't worst to best or best to worst.  I'm just going to publish several of them today in no particular order.  Hopefully the subject matter won't get too depressing today...

A Myachi Poem
by Gecko

This was the place maniacs where born,
And now that it’s gone many will mourn.

The gon was a symbol of what we are,
A place of joy for those near and far.

A place of acceptance for good or bad,
Nobody left feeling at all sad.

It was an icon for the game,
And the place where some grew to fame.

But now it is gone hidden away,
But at FAO Schwartz the movement will stay.

Tucked in a corner like an old toy,
But it will still bring many children joy.

The Myachi mobile was a similar story,
They both where icons filled with glory.

We should remember the 'gon' as it was,
As a place to hang out just because.

Not just as a big metal stage,
But a place to go and act without age.

Sure it will be missed as all loved things should,
Being fun, amusing and just flat out good.

Now I say good bye to the tangible space,
The thing that nothing will ever replace.

Good Bye Myachigon.
