The Last of the Mohicans

 

Today was Uncle Harold’s last day

And he lived it to the max

I didn’t know of many days

Where he didn’t

 

He was a throw back

To another place and time

But he remained relevant

Up to the very end

 

He never lost his spirit

And he never lost his way

He got a little slower

But that was just his gait

 

I learned a few good lessons from HDI

Not the least of which was

How to fight the fight

And not to show up at a gunfight-with a knife

 

He was charming and debonair

And he made the ladies swoon-

 

They’re making TV shows today

About the life he lived in the day

And the stories were legendary

 

He was the one

Who told me to re-marry

To find someone

To share the ride

 

He was Harold

And Cookie and HDI

But Otis was reserved

For one special dude

 

So here’s to Uncle Harold

A legendary man

From a legendary time

Who’s time was Paramount to all
