Sleep Well, Sir Richard
by Keith Gilbert, LTBC Poet Laureate
A man of Letters, Sir Richard Arms
Also Market Technician with Wizardly Charms
Dick penned five books, and loved to fish
His opus "Tackle Box" fulfilled that wish.
Like "Old Ike," a monster trout
With whom Dick's bud Jim, had a lifetime bout
Yea, many times Jim had hooked his prey,
Only to have "Old Ike" get away.
Then one bright morn Dick snags this beast,
And his first thought: "Man, what a feast!"
But as Dick reels "Ike" to the shore
He casts a reflexion on his good friend's lore -
And then Dick, acting on wisdom and whim
Does a "catch and release" in honor of Jim.
To our Book Club Dick sprinkled wisdom and insight
And his droll sense of humor added radiant light.
In summary, Dick's impact no one can replace,
He blended charm and wit with a golden grace!
So goodbye, Brother Dick, you've brought us much pleasure
And sleep well, Richard, our consummate treasure.
