Lion of the Year!!
Lion Bud Dauphin
Incoming President of Fridley Lions

Our Lion of the Year - Is complex for sure
Kind of rough on the outside - But by no means a bore
He played hockey as a kid - A place called Spring Lake Park
If there's a project to do - He's one of the first to embark!!

If you see this Lion - His sidekick isn't far away
They work hard together - And even harder when they play
They travel in tandem - But actually accomplish quite a lot
They built the 49'ers a new float - With Lion Brett, practically on the spot!!

He's known for his bluster - But he's a softy when push comes to shove
He's a great babysitter - For Graham and Charlie his first love
With a family of nine - The moments are never dull
And don't come to his house - If you're looking for a lull!!

Though he's in his mid forties - He can be found playing ball
Down and dirty with the young guys - He's still standing tall
He cooks a great omelet - Always leading the way
He's a better cook than his wife - Even his mother-in-law will say!!

He's really quite creative - Just take a look at the float
He planned it in his head - And he had nary a note
Ok, I'll tell you - Lion Tim Fowler is our guy
The Lion of the year - Well deserved, no one would deny!!

Elvis is his sidekick - These two are fun to observe
Sometimes they're like two old maids - But in the end, they do serve
For more than 6 weeks - Each evening they labored hard
Elvis, Brett & Tim - Building the float in Tim's back yard!!

Voted by his fellow Lions - This is no small award, indeed
But Lion Tim is well deserving - I'm sure every Fridley Lion will concede
So Lion Tim please step forward - This award is just for you
A token of the Fridley Lions appreciation - For all the work that you do!!
