Sixty two members of the Scottish Heritage Society of Eastern North Carolina and their guests gathered last night at the Chelsea Restaurant to honor the memory of the Immortal Bard.

We had a blast, especially at the end when we asked everyone to check under their seats for a 'lucky' envelope. One seat at each table had a page of Robbie's poems that the lucky recipient got to read to the group.

This year I got to do the Toast to the Immortal Memory, but my table had a number of short poems that got shared around.

It happened that this weekend is a big Shriner's convention and parade in New Bern, so I did A Stanza Added In A Mason Lodge

Then fill up a bumper and make it o'erflow,
And honours masonic prepare for to throw;
May ev'ry true Brother of the Compass and Square
Have a big-belly'd bottle when harass'd with care.

Seemd more than appropriate.
