A Guy Named Jack


OK - I know you soon will see
That I am not a poet.
I just like to make things rhyme
And I’m the first to know it.

But I want to recognize a man
That seemed to have great roots.
I glance at my Kiwanis friends
And we can’t fill his boots.

Jack Sargent is a special guy
He’s focused on each deed
He always seems  to be there
With the leadership we need. 

Though raised in California
We’ll overlook that flaw
El Paso seemed to catch his eye
And Texas was the draw

Banking was  Jack’s specialty 
No surprise  he had success.
He became a Texas Conservative
and escaped that liberal mess. 

He loved a pretty “lass” named June
A sparky, gorgeous girl.
The goal just after marriage
Was to see this great big world.

Jack had a love for flying
Airplanes were special to him-
But with all those foreign vacations
He left that flying to them. 

We’re glad that Jack’s still with us
Flying hours he did gain-
But the great thing about that pilot 
He never crashed his plane.

When Kiwanians need the flags put out
On Jack you can rely
He’ll spray those always hidden holes
With bright orange flag pole dye.

Jack loves his cars from olden days
Almost as much as June
Each car-  with spit and polish
And those motors sing a tune

He’ll grab a Kiwanis project
And the details are always done
OK — It’s Hot and sweaty
But with Jack — It’s always  fun.

Whenever you need a singer
Jack Sargent fills the bill
His voice is strong and he’s never wrong
His descant provides a thrill

At times we need to park some cars
Get those dollars coming back
If it’s gonna help Kiwanis
You can always count on Jack

How in the World do you replace him?
The facts are clear and cold
You can’t replace this man name Jack
God only made ONE mold


So As Marble Falls Kiwanians
When we  all are looking back
How special were the times we had
Those days we spent with Jack.

Jack Sargent and wife June will soon be moving away from Marble Falls. Bob Linder's ode, recounting many of Jack's contributions to our club and our community, says it best.
