Can it be forty years? FORTY YEARS? Oh no... you jest, it can’t; we shake our heads Screw up our eyes and disbelieving, set Our memories to trundle back in time...
To when you first stepped up to take the helm - No, not the helm - the knife, the cleaver, block The chance, the role, the heavy-laden risk And how magnificently made it yours.
What service, knowledge, friendship, cheery chat Could we expect and hope for from this ‘lad’? “Give him a chance” said one bloke in the pub “To make a go of it; he’s working hard”.
We didn’t know it was your Dad who urged! And recommended all the world to try.
“I bet you’ll see I’m right!” He was, of course. And all, impressed, keep recommending you.
Dear chap, amongst the memories and fun There’s been a deal of anguish too and pain Your fans and friends and customers all know That through the rolling years you just keep on.
So lucky to have Er Indoors to do
The flipping paperwork and chat!
And those young men who learned their trade from you Who serve us all with friendliness and skill.
Now, though unbelievable, we’re here: A million wrinkles on time’s meaty brow, To acknowledge massive contribution to The lives - and bellies - of so many fans.
Happy days Phil and all your family and staff!
