Flauschink Poems 2005

by Sherrie Vandervoort
We’re so glad you made it, we’re happy you’re here
The season has ended, it’s time for some cheer!
It’s been a long winter, we all must agree…
We’re flushing the season so Flauschink is key
Queen Lisa! King Joe! Your reign is all done
You served us so well, we hope you had fun!
As sad as it is, your job is now through
Let’s give them a hand and raise your glass too!
So now is the time to pass on the crown
There are royals amongst you, just look around…

Queen Tracey
Our soon-to-be queen is someone you know
A down to earth lady, a gal on the go
She’s been in the Butte forever it seems
Our queen is fun loving & follows her dreams
A cowgirl at heart, an equestrian queen
When it comes to peace rallies she’ll be on the scene
She loves her guitar, her voice is so sweet
Our royal plays music, her songs can’t be beat
She once wrote a song written of our small town
It was sung by John Denver and heard all around
Our queen is a driver for Mountain Express
A long blond-haired beauty, who’s dating John Hess
So now that you know who your new queen will be
Let’s all give it up for our new queen, Tracey!

King Snyder
And now it is time to bring up the king
Outgoing & witty, this guy’s on the scene
From camping to golfing to hunting for food
Our soon to be king is an out-doorsy dude
The man of the year is an all around guy
With him on your side, your well won’t run dry...
This hard working fellow, he sure gets around
He loves to play golf at the Talk of the Town
He wears a big smile-he’s helpful & sweet
When it comes to fundraising, he takes a front seat!
His wife is a dancer & attends all his “gigs”
He sings for the crowd while she dances her jigs!!
Our king loves his wife and he loves his guitar
His magical voice has brought him quite far
From the mountains back east to the mountains out west
He loves Crested Butte & you all know the rest...
So give a warm welcome to this bearded rock star
Get up here Steve Snyder-don’t run for the car!!
