In “Earnest”

Though it’s been years since I’ve seen him,
I never did forget.
This funny guy, the witty lines.
I’m very glad we met.

The “do ats” boy, who never ceased to make all people laugh.
But, there was so much more to him, we never knew the half.

I saw the first cake he did make – vivid colors upon white.
The red, blue, green strokes that he made –
it sure was very bright.

So here today, this is for him,
I’m not ashamed to share.
He’s gone too soon, good by old friend.
I hope you knew we cared.
