Poems for Norm Darling

Ode to Norm

We have a cheerful friend named Norm,

You'd want him with you in a storm.

He's always pleasant and in a good mood,

as the young would say, he's one cool dude.

Norm served in the Navy in his early days,

he did his bit to preserve our American ways.

After the war he became an engineer instead,

then at MIT, he settled down and wed.

In retirement Norm's talents really show,

as the artist and poet we've come to know.

Ninety-seven this month is his age,

his adventurous life turns a new page.

On his birthday Norm's spirit we toast,

we must openly admit he is the most.

Norm Darling

Poet, artist, friend, joyous Norm

delighted us with his endearing poems.

Millions of stars radiate on high.

now there's one more, Poet Norm.
