Tribute to the old fisherman
CheBourdain7

Heres an ode to the wiseman of Central Lake.
 1
Practical and pragmatic he is,
 2
a Man with deep values as much as Uncle Pat.
 3
Always equip with a pocket knife he is
 4
and will criticize the noncorformist
 5
in a drop of a hat.
 6
His midwestern, Michigan tone
 7
is always friendly and slur,
 8
ready to be offended to what he finds "absurd".
 9
He wears his tucked in polo shirt
 10
and tight blue jeans with pride.
 11
Always listening to his christian rock band
 12
Switchfoot whenever he's taking a simple ride.
 13
His Patriotic ways never sem to linger,
 14
with the good book always on his mind
 15
and never short of smartass remarks about
 16
illegal aliens and his undying adoration for
 17
Ted Nuggent.
 18
 
 
At the end of the day,
 19
he catches one big fish
 20
with the beautiful horizon appearing.
 21
Never known to be an idealistic prick in the first place,
 22
he smiles anyways.
