Eric … & Fairchild
This dashing disciple with a twirl
Transformed the life of a Haagen-Dazs girl
God to Shanghai did them send
The borders of the kingdom to extend
Gung On, however, sensed a plot
“In Shanghai,” they said, “We want you not!”
Back in Hong Kong, after just a few years
Along came Dimitri – I can still hear the cheers
Given to hospitality this consummate host
Prepares anything from toast to a roast
So whether you want western or ‘da bin lo’
Or even birthday dinner – you know where to go!
Connoisseur of all kinds of tea, near and far
From Fujian Koon Yam to Nanjing Yue Fa
And Hong Jau Lung Jeng to Yunnan Po Lei
Even that foreign stuff known as ‘Earl Grey’
At da ma jerk he is Mr Unruffle
Even in the midst of quite a kerfuffle
Try to distract him with quick conversation
Next moment “Pung!” – Now that’s concentration!
Eric knows life’s not always: “Eat, drink and jest”
[Otherwise how could God our faith test?]
So when times were tense with work a scarcity
He still maintained his godly integrity
Eric is confident that right up to the end
God will take care of them like a good friend
Then welcome them into eternal events
With “Well done good and faithful servants”
