"Patriarch"
It was Jim our Patriarch
The one who started our silly Lark
Collecting Dogz that foolish bark
He gathered us from foreign lands
To form a pack that ever stands
A man From Scottland so was he
A township there name Blairgowie
Upon this name his nick would be
Don't forget it you and me
If not for Jim our pack would be
Scattered out and lost at sea
He rallied Friends and even Foe
To watch them all come and go
Hello Laddies want to play
I'll host a session, for you today
He Mastered flying on the run
Dropping bombs instead of gun
He concurred worldly things, do tell
Piling Money in a wishing well
Making life, no living hell
Jim Tamed the land and it lakes
Built a home from wooden stakes
There he leaves a legacy
of churned up dirt and fallen tree
Who had Jim dig the moss
His wife Helen she's the Boss
Then one day He met a Foe
A mastered one, He could not throw
He fought him hard day and night
Jim and Cancer put on a fight
The Dogz are family next to kin
But the battle raged within
Taking down our beloved Freind
Don't be sad my fellow lads
Jim is always, our virtual Dad
