To the one who is the mold
The one who has made me so bold
May all others be told
That this cast can’t be sold,
Honesty is the best policy
May it never be said this is a fallacy
For this is the proof of a true patriot
May you be so fortunate
I cannot express the weight of it
All other paths are less fortunate
Standing on a foundation so concrete
One needs not be discrete
It is from this outline
I’ve become so inclined
To weather any misdeeds
Set upon mankind
The proof is in the pudding
I am proud to be of this brooding
May I use this to do my bidding
To you I say for I am not kidding
Forgo the nature of the Easter hat
Don’t confuse the facade
For this is one cool cat
Though the get up may be odd
It takes those with such a pride
To set such a fearless example
All others will want to sample
What it takes to be by his side
A chip off the old block for sure
Of which I want no cure
May you all be as lucky as me
To be from this tree.....
