A RESOLUTION COMMENDING HONORABLE G. W. BLANKENSHI P
FOR EXCELLENCE OF SERVICE IN BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS
OF LITTLE ROCK; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
WHEREAS,
He' s always quite a `gentleman,
with ready savoir faire;
Empathy is his middle name,
you know his heart is there;
A champion of the little guy,
he seldom will let down;
Anc3 when he sees a lady cry,
he really goes to town;
A man of many talents, he,
historian, poet, teacher;
But if you've heard him pray, you' ll f snow
he should have been a preacher;
At praying this man has no peer,
a linguistic engineer;
He' s making up one now, alas,
to haunt us year to year;
Five years of service this man claims,
of time and toil and sweat;
Made many tough decisions,
and was acting I ayor yet;
He ' s done his part and more than that,
his interest hasn't waned;
Here' s hope the good work he has done,
will ever be maintained;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
