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 ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

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 |
