I hear that you feel happier Dave since Serge now work with Jim <br />And that you feel glad so very glad to have seen the back of him <br />You feel like one relieved of pain no farewell tears for Serge <br />So many times he'd driven you right to the anger verge. <br /> <br />It's true Dave you are an honest man and honest men are rare <br />And you could never be unkind to one who treat you fair <br />But for such a just and honest man I do find it quite sad <br />That you look on the race of man as sinister and bad. <br /> <br />You say that man the animal this Planet Earth destroy <br />Make bombs to kill his fellow man and with smoke pollute the sky <br />And that man pollute and kill and maim so happen to be true <br />But you cannot blame all of Mankind for the sins of the few. <br /> <br />I hear that you'd feel happier Dave if Adam did return <br />And that for his splendid company I've heard it said you yearn <br />But be happy with your blessings Dave you have young John and Lew <br />For they have a humorous streak in them and they can humour you. <br /> <br />I hear that you feel happier Dave since Serge has gone away <br />And for little Noel to do likewise you yearn to see that day <br />But I've met worse than Serge and Noel there's worse than those two there <br />For the World is large and wide and round and unreasonable people everywhere.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-big-dave/
