The Accolades Man

Is there anyone you know that writes reviews
Like yours and my friend Russell
The answer is no, not in this whole wide world
He rises above all the bustle

Such a very kind soul, my dear Mr. Sivey
Must be made of something real special
Just about the happiest dude that ever there was
We all need a friend like Russell

Something tells me he's had a real good life
As he pours out his daily accolades
Seems totally content within his own skin
The epitome of a man self-made

Totally look up to and appreciate dear Russell
He's someone I'm honoured to know
In this day and age of our “me first” generation
A unique and a true loving soul

Is there anyone you know that writes reviews
Like yours and my friend Russell...

Methinks not!

Carol Eastman Date: 9/2/2013 10:40:00 AM He writes reviews? Wow! When I get my little book done... Do you think he'll review mine? In any case, I'm going to read a few more of his... With a memory like mine, I need to be reminded each day... Except by Dragon... But not to worry... He NEVER lets me forget him! (I didn't tell him I have two poems about him in the works... He'd drive me crazy if he found out.) Here he comes... Quick! Look non chalant... Hi Dragon!... What do you mean I'm up to something... Really! Silly Dragon!
