Jim Burgess was an amiable person. I don’t know where he stood on spirituality but he did live on a plant-based diet. Below is my poem about Jim:</p>
<p><strong>Jim</strong></p>
<p>Came a man who hailed from Erieau</p>
<p>Just across the lake from state Ohio</p>
<p>He was just a really nice guy</p>
<p>Not a bone in his body you’d call shy</p>
<p>He had this positive gift of gab</p>
<p>With a personality oh so fab</p>
<p>He was generous and into charity</p>
<p>That could make him somewhat a rarity</p>
<p>He perceived animals as real pets</p>
<p>As loving beings who pose no threats</p>
<p>Known to flaunt the colour green</p>
<p>And lacked the aptitude to be mean</p>
<p>An all-around Canadian chappy</p>
<p>Which can be defined as someone happy</p>
<p>He had this shop with a million books</p>
<p>Rare books on shelves and in nooks</p>
<p>He was good to a lady named Rose Ann</p>
<p>For sure he was truly her only man</p>
<p>He was just that people’s guy</p>
<p>Who found a place beyond the great sky</p>
<p>We’ll remember him, won’t forget him</p>
<p>A special soul goes by the name Jim</p>
