The Spani-Man by Tim Tyler
He was a punster and a punter
He was a fisher and a sporting fan
A jokester who liked cards and Keno
He was the Spani-Man
He drove a VW bus to the river
He fished off Indian land
They even gave him a key for the gate
He was the Spani-Man
He was a kind and gentle soul
A good father to Trish and Dawn and husband to Diana
His friends numbered in the 100's
He was the Spani-Man
He fell down in the ghetto one day
And from his back devised a plan
I've had enough, he said I quit
I am the Spani-Man
So he retired to mow the lawn
And take the bus to casino land
He was happy in his golden years
He was the Spani-Man
He died on April 14
He will be missed by all his fans
So raise a glass to our Ken
He was the Spani-Man
