Normal Rockwell
Rockwell was my rock
The reason I became
A graphic designer
Seeking fortune & fame
Achieved my portion
Of the fortune part
And fame, at least locally
Graphics was my art
Long before computers
I will king of the hill
Even after, my design skills
Were valued still
Worked on the art table
Longer than most
Wasn't sent out to pasture
Till later, I can boast
I still miss the challenge
That faced me each day
A big part still longs
To revisit yesterday
Surely at my happiest
While practicing my art
That pleased my clients
'Twas the best part
Receiving recognition
I sorrily still miss
Coz I know I'm still able
Now I just reminisce
Norman Rockwell was my rock!
