Dyrk

There is this man I've known for quite awhile

Like many you know, he has his own unique style

He doesn't stand, in fact he usually sits

If you ever chat with him you'll notice his wits

You'll see him rolling along in his wheelchair

All over Escanaba, I've seen him everywhere

I always stop to talk with him wherever I'll be

His knowledge of many subjects is shared with me

He wears a battle hat used in Panama in 1989

He's wearing that hat, all of the time

That's how you'll know him if you ever see

A man rolling along in his chair, that's who he'll be

On Facebook, to some, his comments may seem rude

But I've known him for awhile, and know his attitude

He's very open minded on what we talk about

Nothing fishy there, he's an exceptionally good Trout

Music is discussed whenever we stop to chat

Then we'd part our ways, wherever we're at

Just wanted to honor this friend that I know

With a poem that I wrote for a wonderful soul

Hey Dyrk (Trout), just wanted to let you know one more time

what a great friend you are to me and many others. Thanks.
