2.8 Some Thoughts About John

Some Thoughts About John

What a dry sense of humor,
a meticulous, punctual nature
reflected in the dog's pink bows.

Fourth of July waterfights

showered liberally with hospitality.

a hobby fortold—What a Fleet!

Modeling courage and integrity,
he died as he lived and leaves a legacy
of fine stories over beers at the Eagle.
