Poetry: Reflections of Why Friends and Business Don’t Mix!

Breakfast sandwiches made with speed and agility

Buttered toast and hot coffee

We used to sell them well, and then our business went to hell

You gave your girlfriend our money,  to open her new place

Left town to play some pool, hey! Dude that wasn’t cool

Left me alone to play the fool
 
Oh how she smiled when you left that day

She knew exactly what she was going to do

Stay out all night drinking

Left me at Our Place thinking, will she show up this time?

Will she be on time?

Hell no, was Our Place’s fate

There will be no breakfast, lunch, or dinner on anyone’s plate

Naturally that was all this old cook could take

Good God man, for Heaven’s sake

The place was just taking off, it could have been great

Went back to doing the same old thing, I did it with some pain

Then you came to me singing that old nurse me rhyme

“I can’t take it anymore
I am through this time
Help me out of this mess I am in
I need a place, let me in”

I said: come on in, sit right down, your frown it turned upside down

You weren’t there even a week when my undoing she started to seek

She had a friend of sorts, who happened to manage my trailer court

Came a knocking at my front door, the trailer court had misgivings

About where you, now were living

But, like a dumb smuck, I stuck up for you

Then things got so heated, that I did not think, I could beat it

You said; I’ll be there for you

Then just like before, out the door you went

Now, you act shocked and amazed, when I say

Step back Jack! Get off my porch

I may have been slow to catch on

But, hey buddy, this time you’re gone

Go back to your booze guzzling “Hound”

And don’t dare to come back around
