Attention In The Change Room!
This poem is written for Wesley Mouton, "Mouttee" some called him, but he loved to be called "Po Devil". Moutee worked at Cote Blanche Mine in Louisianna for 40 plus years and left us unexpectedly last week and is sadly missed by all his freinds and especially his family. This is for you Mouttee.
Attention in the Change Room,
you would always hear.
Attention in the Change Room,
you knew the mine was clear.
He always had a smile
each time he greeted you,
He'd always share a thought,
even a ryhme ot two.
He spent his time at this old mine,
for 40 years or more,
He'd sing and song, tell a joke
and always smiled,
When you opened the hoist room door.
He would always gave us updates
when an important game was on,
He complained, then he laughed,
It went on and on and on.
So let's keep our Friend
in our hearts,
and if you listen you might hear.
Attention in the Change Room,
You know "Po Devils" spirit
It's really very near!
