Here Am I!

His is a significant presence
one which does not go unnoticed
for the man is a towering figure
looming in height over all others.
A man genial of character and
well taken by all those others
upon whom he occasions to
cross, some of whom know
him well enough to know how
fond he is of his great basso
profundo, thundering like
Thor's off the side of a mountain.
He is affable and a man of action.
One who confides that
he knows the experience of
heart failure so massive that
frantic doctors barely managed to
revive his departing heart. He is
also prone to exaggeration; hardly
to be criticized, however
since nature with her inimitable
sense of irony made of him a
gross exaggeration of a man.
