Clue No. 1
An Ode to Frosty
Born more than three scores ago
In a place not too far away
Waseca is home to him though
He liked it and made plans to stay
Father and grandpa to four
All active in winter’s cold weather
Someday more grandkids in store?
Frosty will keep them together
Clue No. 2
A Continuing Ode to Frosty
His career began right out of school
At one of Waseca’s facilities
A young age to learn local rules
And face new responsibilities
The next year for Frosty was hot
The torch passed to the next generation
Work hours increased by a lot
As he started his new avocation
Clue No. 3
A Continuing Ode to Frosty
One family, then two, and then three
With dedication to all
His many colleagues agree
That he faithfully answers the call
The job can be trying, no doubt
Although now the issues are fewer
Seldom does power go out
With systems updated and newer
Clue No. 4
A Final Ode to Frosty
The past forty years brought changes
Licensing, clerking on boards
Foreman and chief came in stages
Resulting in personal rewards
Frosty would thank the community
For its joint collaboration
He was blessed with opportunities
For growth and education
