THE HERO

THE HERO

I’d like to tell you a story
About Jonathan McKlusky
He is a very tall and gentle man
And is also very husky

Jonathan works as a fireman
He is very dedicated to his field
No matter what the danger was
Everyone knew he would never yield

One day there was a horrific fire
In the project section of the town
And because it spread so rapidly
Many buildings had burned down

As people were scurrying to get out
He heard the sheik of a child’s loud cry
Jonathan went inside the burning building
Without hesitating or stopping to think why

Even though the fire burned all around him
He brought the child out safe and sound
He was greeted by a rousing cheer
As the people gathered all around

In particular there was a couple
A happy man and his tearful wife
They couldn’t stop thanking him
Because he had saved their baby’s life

The town gave him a medal and said,
“Our heartfelt thanks go out to you.”
He replied and said, ”You’re welcome,
But this is the job that I’m paid to do.”
