Jim Mahon

They came traipsing across the fields In the spring of life In the dawn of time When their world was young   A man named Jim and three friends Steve, Ron and another Young hell raisers Seeking their future   Hard they worked Laughed and played Enjoyed their youth As they ran and coursed   Powerful built, man among men Set records in throwing the disc Energy to burn And he did But school had no more to offer him   Look out world—here I come   Offspring of WWII folks Untamed energy running wild Talent seeking an outlet Rebel looking for a cause   They worked night and day And never complained I took them to a steak house to dine To show appreciation for labor well done   Like a grizzly bear he ate Steak in both hands Bit off big chunks With his strong teeth Impressing a young lady As she shyly watched From across the way   Raised a family of strong boys Look out world Here they come   A better country He left behind   And he left too soon
