Evergreen

To John Miller, a greening champion*)

 

A jolly good and friendly fellow,
Although he seldom wears a grin -
The sky is blue, the sun is yellow,
But John is definitely green.

It’s cold outside, but warm in here,
And none of us would find it strange.
Because we all as one adhere
To this internal climate change.

He’d been about and he’d been out
Before he came, and saw, and won
Attention, when his mails would shout
To make the greening business run.

As to his love for printed letters,
It’s not so hard to understand,
For, guys and gals, remember let us
He’s “booked” his flight from end to end.

And if he, later on the journey,
Should get nostalgic just a notch
About those pages that keep turning,
We’ll fix it with a glass of scotch.

Departures always make one mellow
Yet, we must not give in to spleen,
For skies are blue, and suns are yellow,
And Sir John Miller - evergreen!
