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
