He Is Not Camera Shy

He makes sure that the locals him will never forget
His photo is often in the Moyne Gazette
His ego of attention he would never deny
One can say of him he is not camera shy

Though time on his feet has left him walking slow
His Premiership football medal to others he loves to show
He will wear it on display on his coat until the day he does die
To say the ego deflates with age would be telling a lie

Sixty years ago a Premiership player as a young man
When he was young and strong and full of youthful elan
A local football legend today as he was years ago
Though time that rusts iron has become his foe

Many times great grand parents him and his aged wife
They have spend sixty years together of their long life
Today she still loves him and remains a loyal fan
She looks up to him as a wonderful man

Cuttings from old newspapers of stories on him every day by him read
There is no room for humility within his bald head
His ego as swollen as when in his life's prime
It has not deflated over decades of time.
