Tom Opens Beaver Mountain

Well, he didn't really open Beaver Mountain but their website announced its 2011 opening day with this picture of Tom

He's floating and flowing, no time to pose. 

With a permanent grin and a frozen nose.

Pow flyin'

Laid way back in the light white, having fun 

He's Papa John's son showing all how its done.

 Smooth ridin'

Here's the original version of the poem I stole a few lines from. It was published in the first issue of Power magazine in 1972 but I think it was written with Tom in mind. 

i'm Loose le Goose
in the moose ballet,
the Rubberband Man
drivin' ten-ton van
tuckin',

i'm floatin', i''m flowin',
no time to pose,
got a frozen forehead
and a wind-runnin' nose,
bird flyin'

laid way back
an' takin' a bath
in the light white
whippin' by,
am i drownin'?

hear the soundless scream
in a childhood dream,
silent-screen Star
fallin',
wide-awake sleepin',

i'm loose le Goose
in the moose ballet,
the Rubberband Man
drivin' ten-ton van
truckin',

tuckin' down home.
