Harry Becker

FOR HARRY

Most little verses are a labor of Love, but this is one that is not.
For you're retiring and we go on working and we don't think this is so hot.
You've worked long and hard for the county, This statement is made 'tongue in cheek'.
How can a man who has worked so hard look like he has just reached his peak.

The peg board bunch now salute you, Your friendship treasured by us all.
The fishing trips in the summer and the hunting trips in the fall.
A pleasant partner or foe at the card table. Never dull or down in the mouth.
You may skip a hole or peg backwards, why should you know north from south?

You're a leader who knows where he's going, especially on a camper caravan.
We're always sure of our destination, unless you go through Spokane.

May you catch all the fish that you want to, May you shoot the biggest deer that you see.
May you hear the words you've sought after..
For Martha to say, "You're right, Bus, I agree!"
