Who's Mike? says Mike..
That question's strange
A simple tyke
Grown on the range
That's what he says
About himself
No wonton ways
For little elf
In high school class
Early in life
He found a lass
Made her his wife
His life-long jewel
With him went far
After law school
He passed the bar
Fine family
The two did raise
Four young on knee
All garnered praise
Surprise to none
That one fine day
Mike did become
Kansas' D.A.
He put the bad
Guys all in jail
Gave all he had
He'd rarely fail
But we know Mike's
A poet geek
And that he likes
Words 'tongue in cheek'
Everyone knows
At Passions' site
Sonnets of rose
Are what he writes
We like his stuff
And read it lots
It's not enough
One day his thoughts
It's time to git
He checked his fob
Then up and quit
His D.A job
The bad guys heard
And cheered aloud
The jailhouse word
Spread quickly round
Their jubilee
No longer boast
When they learned he
Had a new post
Their hopes are gone
And it befits
For now upon
The Bench Mike sits


He is DA MAN

HERE COME DA JUDGE!!



CONGRATULATIONS, MIKE..

Nan~
What a wonderful salute to a wonderful guy.
Poet geek, by his own admission -
But he sure stands on the merits of his hard work to attain his appointment to the judgeship.

I'd have to have a little of that tongue-in-cheek and say -
He ROSE to the occasion !

Congratulations, Mike(?)

Thanks, Nan !

Congrats Mike, once again...I'm never going to go to Kansas to commit a crime, lest you sentence me to 30 days without Passions! LOL

Mike's the bestest there is...and sits on two benches...one is where poetry holds court.

Nan, this is a wonderful poem and tribute to a fine man...thanks for writing it!
