Discovering (Ode to Buck LeVasseur )

By Bud Lemire on Sept 13, 2010

 
It was on “Discovering” on Monday night, that I first met Buck
Into my living room he came, colorful as a duck
He brought us all over the U.P., nature at its best
Hunters and Fishermen, and much more of the rest
 
Buck keeps us in touch with the wildlife found here in the U.P.
Taking us with him into the woods, so we can also see
Setting up his camera, capturing the beauty of all life there
Putting it on his show, because he loves to share
 
He interviews the Hunters that are found here
Getting firsthand details of the wildlife that is near
He helps promote the handicapped hunters, and does a great job
With help from good samaritans, he even helped my friend Bob
 
He shares with us history, trailblazers, and some art
Life here in the U.P., and all who do their part
Out on the lake, the Fishermen caught another trout
Experiencing the great outdoors is what its all about
 
He brought us to the DeYoung Zoo, to see the animals there
And into the fields to see nature’s best found anywhere
Why he was even chased down by a big old moose
I’m sure he’s seen his share of the Canadian Goose
 
Buck we’d like to thank you, for bringing us your show
So we could come along, and learn and we would know
For many years we watched you on T.V.
Capturing nature’s beauty, found in the U.P.

Thank you Buck, for sharing with us all you have over the years. We have discovered so much more because of what you have shared with us.
