A poem...for Tim...on his birthday.

At the Great Chili Cook-Off of Tenderfoot Valley,
the whole town was gathered - each Tom, Dick and Sally
to see who would win and be given the crown
of Chili Bean Princess of Tenderfoot Town.

Then along came Tim, with his mustache so proud
"You cannot win this!" shouted the crowd
He removed his knickers, his boots and his vest
And poured hot chili onto his chest.

The mixture of beef, beans, veggies and things
mixed with the musk of 1,000 kings
Sent the crowd into a quite a riot
They crowned the man with the chili diet.

The tales are true of this hero named Tim
Who filled the Tenderfoot Valley up to the brim
With his spicy gift sent from above
Many did drown, but it was done out of love.

As he turned to leave the chili flooded valley
He heard the muffled voice of wee young Sally
She said “Don’t forget to take your crown,
you are now the Princess of Tenderfoot Town.”
