Evil Knievel
The King of ‘The jumps’
Your life was made whole
(despite of the bumbs!)
We sat there and watched, on TV, in our homes
and lost the full count of the break of your bones
But now you;re in heaven and Jesus can’t wait
To see you rev up and jump the pearl’ gate!
God Bless You

and this

His legacy lies in dented skirting boards the length and breadth of the country; the result of the '70s toy wind up bike that had a mind of its own. For those of us who lived through these times, this news will come as a shock.
