UNCLE RALPHWhen this century was twelve years young(1900)The life of Ralph had just begunHe was the anemic son of farmer FredWhen he misbehaved,Fred banged his headHe grew up tough and he grew up leanHis breath was hard as keroseneIn depression times he ate the dustBut showed his grit and didn't go bustWhen times improved for this visionaryHe farmed more land and married MaryHe read books of poems and animal husbandryBut it took ten years to produce Ruth MarieHe took a stint at politicsWhere he used his mouth and he used his fistsWhen the days were long and the grain was goldThere was many a young person he helped to moldYear after year from far and wideEach summer they came and worked by his sideThey learned about mechanics and they learned about soilThey learned human relations and they learned how to toilThey swam in the river and fished in the lakesHe took them exploring when nature gave him a breakWell finally you've reached the age of four scoreOne door may be closing but you'll open one moreSo pull off your boots and sit in the sunHappy Birthday RalphYou're our number one!Composed by Gerry for Ralph's 80th birthday in 1992.
