For Pete Withers
For Pete Withers
By Joanne Hale
Now, Pete, he is a walking man
He likes to roam and hike
He s also active in other ways
Including cycling on his bike.
He s also fond of model trains
Building a railway in his attic
With his HO gauge, he s the stationmaster
Oh yes - it s very dramatic!
He s kindness itself, oh yes, is Pete
He will always help anyone out
Friends, family or neighbours
Whoever gives him a shout.
He loves to feed the wild birds
They visit all year round
All colours, shapes and sizes
Pete s tended them fondly, you ve found.
He also enjoys doing the gardening
And is rather green-fingered, it s true
A lovely display, of plants, he ll create
Making you feel it was done just for you
He likes to sit and read a book
Especially one that makes him smile
He ll become so absorbed in its content
And forget where he is, for a while!
He also likes rare books, you know
Which feature Bristol, of old
He has a splendid collection himself
Worth a pretty penny, I m told!
We re glad that he s our neighbour
And that we all get on so well
Some neighbours are a nightmare
Making lives a living hell!
But, oh, not Pete
He s wonderful! It is so!
Kind, thoughtful and genuine
A true pleasure, yes, to know.
