For others to sing and enjoy and recite
But he will never more be at the pub's hour of song
To join in the chorus of the sing along
At community gatherings his was a known face
And nobody capable of taking his place
He is now at rest with the town's forever gone
But in his poems and songs memories of him live on
The best of the poets of all of the town
His fame did transcend the local renown
When his body did finally surrender to time
He was in his eighties well past his physical prime
The last breath of life from the Old Poet has gone
But his legacy of beautiful words do live on.
