A good friend on FS was Mikey
Made lots of suggestions I likey
We all wanted improvement
In this FS movement
And Mikey's were best here
By Krikey!
He's not a 'Redneck'
But assuredly Yankee
Upset his pets
He'll most likely
Get cranky
Disparage 'The Bard'
He might take it hard
If you look really hard
The Bard's In
His Yard
Read what he writes
You won't get no frights
There's many a poem
Where he'll
Most likely 'roem*'
He'll go off in a paddock
But won't find no Haddock
Some verses are 'quirky'
Not usually jerky
But he'll serve no turkey
To you.
The thing with Michael Cahill
Is - he'll get you up on a hill
With wit and wisdom
Far beyond his years.
He's such a handsome chap
and always worth a clap
Coz his writings will be
music in your ears.

Author Notes
Putting this up one more time again now several years after his passing, and I believe probably tomorrow in USA would have been the late Michael Cahill's birthday as I got a notice today in Australia (always a day early on Facebook as Fb has no concept of time diffs..in memory of this great FS friend now gone home to Glory. Some newer members would have loved to know Michael Cahill I hope his account has been preserved in here. I was inspired to write this from Mikey's story about suggestions of improvement for this web site. I totally agree with all his suggestions. He was the other "trouble maker."
Thanks to helv2 from Fan Art for his photo Muskrat Home Improvement. By Krikey is a popular anachronism of a lesser acceptable exclamation popular in Australia at least, anyway. Apologies for the spelling. Have now added some more *roem (forgive the spelling ok) refers to Mikey and mine too...tendency to go off on tangents; Haddock* not sure if you have Haddock (breed of fish) in USA commonly in the UK I believe. Short extra note: In some of the rhyme readers from outside USA may not understand the name "Cahill" in most USA places is pronounced "K-Hill." If you do not know to whom this poem refers look for Michael Cahill's profile. We will miss you greatly dear friend. See you in Glory someday soon!
