Re: Berry blasts bombs on Chilliwack power play (Progress, Oct. 13. I really enjoyed your story on Mike Berry, I am his #2 fan in Florida and have been watching his progress for years. I see great things for Mike and I have even written a poem regarding him and hockey. Am sending it to you, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.
He Grew To Be Lightning Fast
He was born to a family
Way to the north.
All he ever wanted to do
Was shoot a puck or two
He could skate better than he could walk
So he practiced and practiced
As hard as he could,
Just so he could shoot a puck or two.
Into a fine young man he grew
At least 6? plus two
He played and played all through school
Just so he could shoot a puck or two.
He grew to be lightning fast,
As his slap shot is 90 or more
And his team knew
He could shoot a puck or two
So in the future, when you watch him play
Just know that he plays and plays
Just so he can shoot a puck or two
For you
