The MICK

To the man that gave me life
And married himself a wonderful wife,

It is always nice to know
that when I need money there is somewhere to go

It is always nice to see
A man willing to give and me willing to receive

It is always nice to say
"I am a Foster" all the way

It is always nice to have
A father to call and share a good laugh

It is always good to feel
A father's love and know it is real

What makes your father so great? they regulary inquire
My father is honest, true, faithful and the bass leader in the choir

To the man who put meaning into my name
A name I carry with no regrets or shame

I say thanks for your life, your friendship, and money
and thanks for marrying the woman you call honey

Yes, I am proud to be on the roster
Of the team captained by Mickey Foster

Addie, Thanks for the thoughts. You are indeed my right hand man and I love you.

However, I have to report that since Jeff and Angie are going to be living with us for awhile, he will take over the role. You will be the first reserve, but a man needs to have a right hand man right at hand if you know what I mean.

See you Thursday. I vote for you guys going to bed as early as you can, getting up around 3 p>m. and come on down to IS. If you dont' do that you will be wiped out all day Thursday anyhow.

See you then.

It's a great poem and I agree, the Mick is a great man and a great source of money.

Dad says that we should sleep and wake up early to go, but I disagree. I think that I will be more tired doing that than driving all night. Lets stick with the plan man, and make it happen.
