OUR "BEST BUDDIES"

Author's Notes/Comments: 

*FRANKIE: Frankie Laine, a great Western/country singer who has sung wonderfully for movies like "The 3;10 to Yuma"; "Gunfight at the OK Corral" and several other hit songs for Hollywood...just like Gogi Grant who made the world of music lovers and song lovers sit up with her "The Wayward Wind".
*SINATRA: Here it refers to none other than Frank Sinatra, the man with the rich voice of velvety gold who later happened to be known as the father of Nancy Sinatra (Famous for her Summer Wine song).
What should I write here after all that I have written above? Well...ending the poem on a positive note, I only repeat the lines of the song sung years ago by Doris Day with a little addition of my own to the original composition: "My buddy, my buddy,,,didn't you say you were true? My buddy, my buddy...your buddy misses you...." This poem is about friendship and friends, about promises kept and notbroken...without even a flicker of thought given to all else but "My Buddy".
