Distinguished Ian Cresswell
Alias oldcrez
(At least that’s what the Sender handle
On his email sez)
 
A local institution
Both rural and urbane
His inspiring contribution
In our minds will long remain
 
I used to like our little chats
When passing in the street
From jazz to troubled teens
His ancient insights were a treat
 
The day he couldn’t stop and chat
He sent a text instead
A real pearl of wisdom
I wonder what it said?
