Tribute To Pat Brady
We
are pleased to print a special item from GEORGE DALY in honor of an old
sidekick, PAT BRADY, who passed away recently:
UNCLE PAT
"Born
1914 in Midland, So. Dakota
Alcohol
he drank over his quota
Died
of a ruptured colon in 2003
Some
say caused by too
much
Whiskey
II
A
natural athlete, strong and tall
Could
have made money pitching
baseball
III
Ballroom
dancing he was hard to
beat
Said
that was where women liked to
meet
Was
difficult to be a husband and
Dad
Saw
the temptations uncle Pat had
IV
On
Seattle docks we had #48 gang
High
tonnage we made a big bang
Holemen,
slingmen and all were
strong
Foremen
gave us hatches that were
long
V
I
write poems about people I love
Know

man above
