| Tribute to T. Rex By Don Henderson Copyright by Don Henderson April 12, 2012 4/19/12 T Rex Not Tyrannosaurus; Titanic Rex; Rex King If you ever knew him You’d know What I mean Titanic, Bigger than life, Was Rex King Perhaps another T-word Could be Titan Or Terrific Rex, a hero, throughout the years, Especially to his younger fans Although, perhaps He had no equal peers Rex, an early hero to me 1948; Me, a 3rd Grader, you see A yearbook purchased A mere $2 dollars cost A large amount back then To keep memories from Being lost Since then Many an hour spent Browsing pages Wondering where The years went Along with Rex, Bennie, Little Joe, And several more Heroes all; to a mere 3rd grader Each glance at pictures, Memories would soar Football or basketball They played I watched them all As a 3rd grader A mere spectator, Seeing your heroes perform Now 60 + years; Sadly watch Them passing With alarm We’ve caught up With them These heroes Of gridiron And gym The passing of Titanic Rex Reminds me: Just as the “unsinkable” Titanic, Indeed went down, None are unsinkable Humans, us, where Flaws abound As humans, We need our heroes, Our own Titanic, Forgetting; Even a Titanic, Eventually sinks We sail along in life Needing a hero Needing a Titanic Rex King was that hero That Titanic Unsinkable…….. And his memories still are So long, Rex King, Our Hero, Our T(Terrific)Rex King RETURN TO TRex |
