My friend Jack

Just a poem to my friend Jack, of the Daniels dynasty, that is.

         My friend Jack

         Happy New Year,
         You’re always fun
         To be with, among
         Each, and everyone
         Of all the friends
         Whom I have none

         You watched me when
         I drank and drowned
         And brought me back
         From where I’m bound

         You watched me dance
         All alone, at night
         Held my hand, and
         Told me to write

         You made me laugh
         When I’m bound to cry
         Helped me, without
         Asking me why

         Happy New Year
         Jack, my old friend
         I know, you can’t hear
         But let me pretend.
