History: Retirement poem, from co-workers. He was a 'cutter' in a garment factory. He just bought a fishing boat.
Golden Bait
Dear ole Nate, he's quite a lad.
Best darn 'cut up' we ever had.
He's going to retire and that's just great.
We know he'll be fishing and just can't wait.
We all agreed a gold watch would not do.
We wanted something especially just for you.
Just a small token, only for Nate.
What else could we get but , 'Golden Bait'.
Enjoy your retirement, catch a fish or two.
And if you get lonesome, sad or blue,
Remember us here, and you'll be glad you're through.
