He’s sold various makes and models And he’s worked on every kind there’s been; So when it comes to chainsaws There isn’t much he hasn’t seen. As for how many he’s sold and worked on Only God really knows for sure; But the number would be staggering And they’re still going out his basement door. He would be the very first one to tell you That he’s seen a lot of changes through the ages; If he were to ever write a book on his career in chainsaws It would certainly take up many pages. Not to mention of all the people He’s met and dealt with along the way; Most would have had their fill of it But he still enjoys it to this day! The Bible says that for every person That God has a purpose and a plan; It certainly would have to be chainsaws When it comes to South Ohio’s own George Cann. There’s no question that “The Chainsaw Man” Would definitely be the most fitting name; Because for over the past five and one half decades Chainsaws have pretty much been his game. It will mark the end of an era When he finally closes his basement door; And by a great number of people “The Chainsaw Man” will be missed for sure! Written by: Paul E. Blauvelt August 26, 2009
