Every Friday the 13th, you tied a matchstick to finger so that you are constantly touching wood.
You hopped when the scoreboard signalled a Nelson.
All your life, you probably didn't walk under a ladder, feared black cats and possibly carried a rabbit's foot in your pocket.
To sum it up, you could have been a walking 5'10" old wives' tale.
We still liked you.
For not looking like a dead fish in white.
For not being just a hat-hanger.
And for your humour that never stooped to buffoonery.
David Shepherd, we will miss you.
We'll all miss the giant ice cream umpire won't we?
ReplyDeleteCPD, surely we will.
ReplyDeleteAmen
ReplyDeleteThanks and RIP Shep
Soulberry, everytime it's Nelson, we would remember Shep.
ReplyDeleteshep you are still very best ever
ReplyDeleteMarquee, I tend to agree. Liked BIrd and like Taufel too but Shep was more affable.
