An ode to Big Fun

To the Editor:

I wrote this poem in response to the article you published about Big Fun's closing:

BIG FUN

I heard that BIG FUN is done
So where will I get another potato gun?
Don't tell me that fun is over and done
Just tell me the good guys have won

Don't tell me that BIG FUN is done
Don't make me go shop at Amazon
Let's open the blinds to let in the sun
And tell me the good guys have won

BIG FUN's not ready for heaven
C'mon Steve let's do another 27
Don't close up the store we'll miss you a ton
Just tell me that BIG FUN's not done

Steve is Coventry's Adam
Debbie is Coventry's Eve
Let's keep BIG FUN open a little bit more
Don't just pick up and leave
Don't tell me that BIG FUN is done

Don't make me go shop at Amazon
We can go to Tommy's for a burger on a bun
Let's open the blinds and let in the sun
When it comes to fun BIG is the sine qua non
Oh tell me the good guys have won.
