Richard Jungkuntz reciting a poem in honor of Milton Nesvig for use at Milton's retirement party.
Poem
M is for Milton, or just Milt for short. He's a terror to refs in every sport.
I is for the interminable length of his sermons, in which he outdoes even long-winded Germans.
L's for the length of his PLU tenure, which makes him a legend to all who have been here.
T's for timidity, of which none can accuse him, for it's the heart of a viking that beats in his bosom.
N is for Norway, the land of his forebears, to which he returns at least thrice every four years.
E's for exuberance, of which he has plenty, but Hazel says you should have seen him at 20.
S is for service in Uncle Sam's navy, those were the days when his hair was still wavy.
T's for the vigor and vim and vitality that give his opinions the air of finality.
I's for his instinct for recall that's total, matching names up with faces and things anecdotal.
To sum it all up and explain what I've meant, G's for a genuine genial gent.
Milton Nesvig, that's the name, see him blush as we shout his fame.
Of shirking his duty, he's never been guilty. So if you all love him, then holler out, Milty!
Let's hear it again. Milty! One more time. Milty!
