Dick introduces himself to Hot Springs National Park Superintendant, Josie Fernandez

He was dressed all in red and had lost his way I showed him the path to the house next door Where the little kids waited to see what Santa had in store

A few months later he appeared again But this time he was dressed as a big fat Hen Or maybe a Rooster . . . it was so hard to say Once again I sent him along his way

Again he appeared red beard and all He was dressed in green and boy he was tall He said “top of the morning” and I laughed once again His accent was terrible but you just had to understand

This time I heard a rustling at my door. It was him again cleaning the porch floor “Neatness Man” is here! He said with a smile His suit was all red and you could see it for a mile His task was to clean up the city with Captain Tidy by his side. "No one was to litter!"� he boasted with pride

A few more months later . . . he came knocking at my door What in the world would he now have in store? His Uncle Sam Hat was big as could be He had sparklers and fireworks and spectacles to see I thought he was thru but he appeared once again This time wearing lederhosen . . . when will it all end? He was doing a Chicken Dance and I made him quit The lady next door was having a fit

I'm sure there were more times that I just can’t remember The man for all seasons from January to December You've made us all happy, and shown us a way In spite of your faults . . . we continue to pray We know you are hurting but you don’t hurt alone We lift up our prayers and they are etched in stone So sleep well my friend as well as you can And always know, that you are “The Man”.
