A Fun Friend

A FUN FRIEND

I have a friend in DPA;
He is so kind,
Even when he is a pain.

Becky and I,
We tease him so.

We hate it when he has to go.

We tease him with leather,
And a feather or two, or three or more.

He takes it all in stride
never does he hides.

When he is down,
and feeling blue,
We cheer him up with a simple,
“I love you. “

He is a nut,
and I am, too.

Wonder if that is why we get along so well?

Author's Note

Author’s Note: DPA stands for Disabled People in America, a very old Yahoo Group which no longer exists. This poem was written for my Friend, Philip Rasnake, but as noted on the IWVPA website, is unintentionally credited to Steve Brandenburg. Either way, the poem fits :)
