Salute to an eminent communication educator

By Dr. Jerry Komia Domatob

Gracing eternity’s hall of fame

Struts Prof. Lee as a hero without blame

Smiling at his grand bequest

Glittering as noble conquest

 

Famous and renowned teacher

He inspired as a star preacher

Outstanding, energetic and assiduous

Determined, dedicated and meticulous

 

Valiant man of honor and integrity

He treated all with dignity

Lee always outshined as a celebrity

Who championed ethical probity

 

Brave warrior for all seasons

Lee outsmarted with reasons

Thoughtful, dutiful and careful

Like the wise, industrious and truthful

 

Eminent communication educator

Helper, torchbearer and trailblazer

 

Ace strategist who championed pro-action

He tactfully tackled diverse reaction

Astute, diplomatic and skilful
