John Joseph Niehus

JackWhen Jack was a young man,Not that long ago,His blarney was as sureAs an Irish rooster's crow.He'd chat with the Colleens,Whispering in jest.Hop up on a barstoolAnd pound upon his chest.Back when his juices flowed,His wind still blowed,And Sharps was not his beerBack when his feetWeren't coldAnd his lap didn't foldAnd the state was not his career.But those days are gone,Or at least it's saidAnd he met the challenge of every talker.His Irish sails still fill with life,While he's greeted by his makerCause in Heaven there's things to do,And places to see,And mountains he must tameAnd maybe, just maybe with Jack and God's helpOne more national championAt Dear ol' Notre Dame.
