My Friend Friday night getting ready looking forward to fun Meeting in town a must since late teen days, eight thirty Many years now passed eye candy not for brittle teeth Embarrass the grandchildren you say who cares say we The sixties until today we know the moves the tunes Bellies pulled in who you kidding grandad young ones say Friday night November short sleeve shirts on Blackpool front Sandstorm raging, we don’t care cooler than cool were we Double vodka for the road crooked house our abode Kebab me chicken you mushy peas taste just like glue Bank holiday night out coming soon, or so I thought That message one August morn that my best friend had gone Tears that well a man holds back but not this time, my friend Vacancy within my heart until the next round ….My Friend. In memory of Dave Tobin 1950-2017 You will be missed my friend |

No better friend than an honorable one. In his passing, he's now yours for life. One ladle serves the soup that feeds the mouths of the many. |

He has never passed, only out of sight, as long as he's alive in your heart, my friend. Wonderful tribute... j. |

Thanks for your comments. The funeral was yesterday with an amazing (sad) turnout. Certainly this poem should be entitled Our Friend and not just My Friend |
