NORM

Updated: Aug 14

I completed my trip to British Columbia, and it was Norm who stood out in the end after meeting him a third time.

NORM

I met a man by the name Norm

At the time of a big snowstorm

Like most of us, he's no Plato

He confessed he'd become a couch potato

He'd been clicking that one-eyed monster

Switching channels slower then faster

His sedentary role made him quite fat

With 300 pounds all under his hat

One day he accidentally got electrocuted

Said it was a wakeup call not to be refuted

He made sure to take a change in direction

The mishap forced some inner reflection

For a turnaround he adjusted his diet

An agitated mind now became quiet

Exercise reduced his weight to 200 pounds

Which is remarkable in a full rebound

With the accident he lost his legs

Now substituted by bionic pegs

At 66 he's gone through an extreme

He tells he's boosted his self esteem

He's involved in helping all kinds of people

Loves nature including the coastal seagull

He lives on an island on the Pacific side

And accepts God as his personal guide

Norm is a guy who is really so kind

Active, human, genuine, all combined
