I don't know where this came from but I enjoyed reading it today. I think Clay is the same person today in many ways that he was in 1997.
Once in awhile
Although they're hard to find
We come across a person
That's truly one of a kind.
Such is this individual
Who in his work takes pride
This talented young man
Has nothing in the world to hide.
He has a lot to say
And says it all the time
Regardless of what others think
He freely speaks his mind.
He has a special way
Of making others laugh
Friendly and most helpful
Well liked by Leesville staff.
Unlike most male students
He never wears a hat.
But hanging from his pocket
You’’ll find Sylvester the Cat.
Others copy his style
It's not the clothes he wears.
It's the very unique color
Of his copper-colored hair.
And speaking of odd colors
It remains to be seen
Another kid in class
With sneakers fluorescent green.
The accomplishments by this person
In the theater and in shows
Affirm the gift he has been given
And the places he will go.
