An ode to Bruce Davy by Steph Meech
The pearly gates swung open
And Bruce just strolled right in
Alright guys said Bruce
His face broke into a grin
The good lord almighty
Took down his big book
He flicked through the pages
And gave Bruce a long hard look
It says here you’re a Para
A flipping fireman too
You are a legend also
And what’s this with your shoes
Bruce stood there silently
And then began to talk
Well it’s like this he said
As he began to walk
Bruce is not a troublemaker
I do not like to fight
But you all need to remember
Bruce is always right
The good lord looked at him
He then began to smile
I have a job for you now
We have been needing one for a while
You are my lone responder
And race amongst the clouds
Helping all who need you
Sirens blaring loud
Bruce said I will do it
But I have a request to make
You need to iron that shirt of yours
And those sandals are a mistake
So if in the distance
A siren you do hear
Listen very carefully
As Bruce is probably near
He may be gone now
But just close your eyes
Can you hear the sirens
It’s coming from the skies.

Bruce was a legendary character, very few people hadn’t heard of him. Maybe not the most PC of people but that was Bruce…..respected, loved and admired. Famed for his pristine boots, uniform and reliability. Bruce had a number of sayings which will carry on forever and known as JF but as we all know…Bruce was right!
