In order for the male of our specie to mature
We need role models
Ed was such an exemplar
He showed what it means
To be a man of quiet dignity
Soft of speech, quick of wit
He showed how to use wry humor
To get a point across
Recently I spoke to him
Of a situation I had
A character defect
Which rose to the occasion
After listening, he said,
"The bomb is still there,
But the fuse is longer"
How apt and prescient he was
They’re going to enjoy you in heaven, Ed
Like we did on Earth
Fare thee well
You made an impression
On all you touched
