You See I've Got This Friend

You see I've got this friend, he's quite a splendid chap
If fact he's so amazing that people suddenly start to clap
When he strolls in the room you know for certain he's there
His quality is something special or am I being a bit unfair
It's true that there are some strange rumours doing the rounds
But that he pays people to praise him, no that has no grounds
After all I'm writing this eulogy purely for the fun and joy of it
Okay yes money changed hands and yes it was quite a bit

Anyway as I was saying he's a wonderful and talented man
Oh and I don't believe that tale about that girl and her van
He couldn't  have got away with it, as I just know you'll agree
And anyway just where would he have located a chimpanzee
It couldn't have happened I know for a fact that she tells lies
Besides haven't you heard he gets airsick whenever he flies
I know it was on a trapeze but it counts as one and the same
She must have been fibbing although it sounds a good game

Look don't interupt, I'm telling you what a fine guy he is
And you'll see how fantastic, but please keep him off the fizz
Why do you think? It's because he can't say thanks but no more
Okay he's amusing but it's me who always scoops him off the floor
Maybe you're right and he's not your type, your cup of Rosalie
But look how about you give him a go and I'll split with you my fee
What if I promise to stay with you, I won't leave you two alone
Can't you even speak to him? How about on the telephone?

Look I'm getting desparate I've really tried everyone I know
How about if we go out as a threesome we could go to a show
I don't know which one's best, but definitely not Les Mis for sure
Oh I thought you knew all about that, all right I'll tell you more
It was in one of the boxes, then right at the end he sort of fell in
I don't know about Les Mis but it did make the orchestra grin
No I'll get some seats by an aisle I think that's a wiser choice
And don't let him join in you know he has a dreadful voice

So it's agreed you will do me this one favour I know it's a big one
Okay I promise I'll owe you, but you know you might even have some fun
Look he's charming really he's just had the very worst case of bad luck
And anyway it wasn't his fault he told me, he thought she'd said duck
So he's very innocent, all right, it's true he can be a gullible little fool
But pretty please love I thought you said you'd give him a phone call
We have a deal now you promise me you really will call him, P True
That's fantastic now all I have to do is explain to him all about you

Well you're not the most desirable woman he's ever likely to see
Naturally I'm so used to you, that I don't even notice it, you know me
But someone who doesn't know you well, might be a little put off
It's not everywhere you see someone so very tall, now don't you scoff
And those bits of ceiling you have in your hair he'll think it's strange
But leave it to me love, all those tiny little details I'll love to arrange
I'll get him to meet you at the theatre, I think that's for the best
Sitting down you won't scare him off before he's seen all your rest

Marsha,
lololol,
Great ham! just in time for breakfast.
I'm standing in line for this one. I know he packs a great picnic and as for the whine well maybe I'll pass.

Kethry love, sling him a bottle of Lambrisco, it's like me, bubbly and very cheap   Thanks sweet I've re written it, it's not often I have to but the flow was all wrong. It must have been the weather it's really icy today.
Take care kid

But but but!! I wanted ya ta find me a woman Doc...you're the agent! Where did you get the idea that I wanted to nurse maid a man who falls down all the time and who's a drunk. Oh Marsha you can't play with your clients wishes like this. I don't want anything too extravagant.
Let me give you an example... A doc, approx 5' 6", long flowing auburn hair that glows in the dark, deep sensitive emerald eyes, elegantly moulded high cheekbones, dark ruby red soft and inviting full lips, complexion like peaches and cream, voice as sultry as a mystic wind, breasts full and firm as ripe grapefruits, a waist slim enough for me to put my large hands all the way around, shaply legs that flow for miles, ankles as delicate as all the classy crystal in the world, a smile that would light up a room, the scent of the most romantic perfumed breeze in the world, a condo in Hawaii, a mere couple of million dollars in disposable income, an inbred love for spoiling the man she is with, a lover of all types of sports, oversexed, never moody, and last but not least require no prenuptial papers....you know just pure love...geez is that such a hard order to fill... goodness I wouldn't think so....oh well sigh...I can't really find the time to help you with the man I'm going to have to take a cold shower after just describing my unselfish dream...bye now sweet agent...I know ya can do it for me... love    ethome

Karen love, he asked for it, he did I swear to you he did. I just don't know, whenever I come up with a solution it's wrong.   It's a good job he's not here or else he'd throw something at me. And the heavier the better. I know !!
Glad you like it, I enjoy writing these, and I think P T enjoys them too,   on the quiet.
Take care
                 Mushy
'Deer, I thank you very muchly, this is compliment that I definitely know I don't deserve. But I thank you because I'd like to think that i can aspire to achieve it one day. Have a great Christmas enjoy
Take care
                Mushy
                  
P T, what can I say, will sorry cover it   Okay I'll try harder, admittedly with this criteria I might have to compromise on some of them, but I'll see what I can do. And remember kid you asked me  
Love to you have a great Christmas bye for now. (Work work work, tote that bar lift that bale,   )
Take care love

Paula love, I'd take you on like a shot, and I'm sure P T would too. Now all I have to do is find four white mice, a pumpkin, a rat, and wave my magic wand.

Mmmm now I'm sure if there were any mice around my kitty would have encouraged them to leave. She wouldn't have chased them that's far too much effort. Oh well I'll have to improvise. I'll come up with something
Take care
