Brother Landry had this piece published in the "Maine Mason" not long ago and has agreed to share it with the Masonic Poets Society.

The Man Who Wears The Stove Pipe Hat


The man who wears the stove pipe hat
I'm sure you will agree
Is truly just a common man
Not unlike you and me

For when he walks up those three steps
To gaze upon his lodge
He sees how large the room can be
And still tries to do his job

All eyes are upon him
His words they do await
His orders will be carried out
And none will hesitate

He's the one who holds the gavel
And his powers great may be
To use the gavel wisely
Will be his aim you see

All the years he's been preparing
For just this special day
And hoping it will turn out right
So things will work His way

Now that he's in the Eastern chair
And there for all to see
We know he's just a common man
Not unlike you and me
