For Pete Withers

Now, Pete, he is a walking man

He likes to roam and hike

Hes also active in other ways

Including cycling on his bike.

Hes also fond of model trains

Building a railway in his attic

With his HO gauge, hes the stationmaster

Oh yes its very dramatic!

Hes kindness itself, oh yes, is Pete

He will always help anyone out

Friends, family or neighbours

Whoever gives him a shout.

He loves to feed the wild birds

They visit all year round

All colours, shapes and sizes

Petes tended them fondly, youve found.

He also enjoys doing the gardening

And is rather green-fingered, its true

A lovely display, of plants, hell create

Making you feel it was done just for you

He likes to sit and read a book

Especially one that makes him smile

Hell become so absorbed in its content

And forget where he is, for a while!

He also likes rare books, you know

Which feature Bristol, of old

He has a splendid collection himself

Worth a pretty penny, Im told!

Were glad that hes our neighbour

And that we all get on so well

Some neighbours are a nightmare

Making lives a living hell!

But, oh, not Pete

Hes wonderful! It is so!

Kind, thoughtful and genuine

A true pleasure, yes, to know.
