I lost a friend of mine today <br />They put him in a box <br />I spun it round 3 times onstage <br />Now all we’ve found is socks! <br /> <br />I know I read the manual <br />I tried it on my Nan <br />So I called my best friend Dave on stage <br />He’d help me if he can <br /> <br />I’ve been watching Pen and Teller <br />I find them fascinating <br />But I haven’t got a friend like “Penn” <br /> So Instead I put my mate in <br /> <br />I doubt that all the others <br />Would lose their own assistant <br />I’ll spin the box another time <br />I have to be persistent <br /> <br />I should have gone for David Blaine <br />He does his tricks alone <br />But I’m new to all this magic stuff <br />I never could have known <br /> <br />I’m glad I lost him when I did <br />Its only fair to say <br />My next thing was the “Sawing trick” <br />I learnt it yesterday. <br /> <br />So he really got off lightly <br />I better tell his dad <br />I’m sorry that I lost your son <br />The trick went wrong.......”My bad”<br /><br />Simon Gowen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-all-their-fault/
