Poem for Pete
St. Peter stood by the pearly gates
With his list of who gets in
When who should come walking up
But the gentleman Peter Flynn
"Well Pete it's good to see you
And you know you're just the man
Our infield's looking shoddy
I hope you have a plan"
"There's many men to help you
There's some from ballinamore
And once the job is finished
There'll the cold ones that's for sure"
"I know you miss your family
And you didn't say goodbye
But you left them many memories
To cherish and not to cry"
"Your acts and words of kindness
Are things no one forgets
we know you're looking down on us
And saying Let's Go Mets"
So as you leave us Petey
In peace we hope you rest
You were quiet,shy but funny
And truly one of the best
