From Frank

• Yes, there were times, Im sure you knewWhen I
  bit off more than I could chew.But through it
  all, when there was doubt,I cleaned up my spikes
  and threw them out.I faced it all and I stood
  tallAnd ran it my way.Ive run, Ive trained
  and tried.Ive had my fill my share of not
  scoring.And now, as tears subside,I find it all
  so amusing.To think I did all thatAnd may I
  say - not in a shy way,No, oh no not me,I ran
  it my way.For what is a squirrel?, what has he
  got? If not himself, then he has not.To say the
  things he truly feelsAnd not the words of one
  who kneels.The club records show I took the
  blows - And ran it my way!

• And now, the end is nearAnd so I face the
  final Standalone.My friends, Ill say it
  clear,Ill state my case, of which Im
  certain.Ive lived a life thats full.Ive
  jogged along each and every highwayAnd more,
  much more than this,I ran it my way.Marathons,
  Ive done a fewBut then again, too few to
  mention.I did a time I had to doAnd made it up
  the Mall without exemption.I planned each
  charted courseEach careful step along the
  Stotfold bypass,But more, much more than this,I
  ran it my way.
