About Larry
There was a man name Larry V.
he was nice to everyone, you see.
He was a real good teacher,
So he became a preacher.
The ladies were his angels.
The men were his buddies.
His voice was gentle when he talked
And he smiled when I walked.
When he saw children upset and mad
He had a way to make them glad.
Though he never got his truck,
To the kids, he'd often talk like a duck.
He was one of seven children-
Brothers and sisters had he.
When at play--they 'd all say, "Weee, weee!"
Now--he's in heaven.
