"The Happy Hour"

The Happy Hour – for Lex Bramble who was much loved by all.

He was a humble man,

A man who served his country proud

A man who raised a family

A man who sold the choicest cuts of meat

A man who shed a tear;

A man who fitted into any crowd

A man who lived contentedly

A man who we were honoured to meet

A man who shared a beer;

And now that the happy hour has come to pass,

I would propose this one last toast,

To this man;

Whose memory will live on in our hearts.
