I have this friend named Davy D.
we met again when he was going with
Rhonda B.
I talked to him a lot
even though he thought
that I had the IQ of a wounded polka dot
I don't know how he ever put up with me
I'd always call him every time I had a little
catastrophe
I always seemed to blotch things up
while he'd always understand and
fix them right up
for someone who seemed so unfeeling and
mean
his true self was hidden and rarely seen
I thought he'd never make a mistake but he finally
did
one day while he was up at my house you see he
flipped his lid
well what more can I say other than he's a terrific
guy
all of you are my friends and you know I would never
lie
if he ever reads this he won't like it because you see
I used to insult him a lot and all the apologies in this
world won't change these certain feelings he has
I'm not one to get down and beg but to him from me
I must ask Please forgive me Davy D?
note, if I had more friends like Davy D.
this world would be just plain terrific for me
I'll never forget you Chief Square fingers no matter
how grown up you've let yourself become.......
