"IN HONOUR OF A HUMAN TOWER, JOHNNY BATES; IN MEMORY OF HIS BROTHER, DANNY BATES"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Empire State Building,
King Kong on your shoulder.
You stood tall
And made us high with laughter.

Bicycle,
Running Chain Saw,
Each balanced on that
Rubber Chicken
Held in your
Severely Concentrating Mouth.
Thank you for the
Wonder of it all!
The King of Entertainment.

But one day
Tragedy silenced our laughter
And took
The One You Love
Away.

With the Weight of Your Love
On your shoulder;
A Human Tower,
You stood firm . . .
And trembled.
