Lanny Poffo has issued the following poem as a tribute to his father.
’twas back in 1945
On Independence Day
The Nazi’s had surrendered
Japan was on it’s way
My Dad was in the Navy
As history will tell
As he was bleeding through the mats
A World’s record fell
He did 6000 sit-ups
With an extra 33
To glorify our Savior
Who died for you and me
And Robert Ripley’s feature
Celebrated this event
Giving credence to “SUCCESS
IS NOT AN ACCIDENT!”
That’s always been his motto
Through times both good and bad
He’s a REAL Hall of Famer
And the World’s Greatest Dad!
