A Collage of These Houston Greats

Houston Greats

Jim McIngvale, Gallery Furniture

Giving back to the community in many ways.

Mattress Mack had a stroke scare attack,

has vowed to change his ways.

Didn't have the dreaded mattress back,

to "Throw it out!" for the rest of his days.

JJ Watt, Houston Texans Linebacker

Giving back to the community in many ways.

JJ Watt's Achilles power was shot,

couldn't turn the spotlight off or on.

Joined HEB’s veggies in a power plot,

his voltage became powered beyond.

Marvin Zindler, ABC 13 Investigative News Reporter 

Flamboyant solver of community problems.

When Marvin Zindler shouted, "I Witless News!"

We all paid attention to what he had to say.

Regretted closing best little whore house in Texas,

but reaped benefits for Dolly and him to this day.

Dr. Red Duke, Memorial Hermann Trauma Center Director

Life flight and other medical trauma innovations.

Dr. Red Duke spoke like the cowboy of old,

but his horse was a helicopter he rode.

Tended to JFK, the truth be told,

a giant of medicine helping it to unfold.

There are many others like Howard Hughes…

Paved mudtown… Too many to mention.
