I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DID NOT TELL ABOUT JOANNE

She is mentioned in my prior post

This is for girls who feel down
Joanne, no way to avoid it was fat
Very first time I saw her
I would say pleasantly plump with glasses
Her hair ratty dishwater blonde
I was dumb as a stick but athletic
A senior transferring mid term to a new school
I knew no one and had to stand waiting for the bus
With a bunch of freshman and sophomore smart allecks
I noticed Joanne standing on a hill above
She seemed to be the only one my age
I asked her what she was reading
A punk from down below yelled, "Hey Dude,
you don't want to stand with the pig
The cool guys are down here."
He didn't know me very well. I looked
for Dude's who treated woman like my Father
I picked him up by the belt so we were eye to eye
"You well go up and apologize to my friend."
He looked to his friends they grew silent
I always like to make friend first day in school
Joanne helped me in typing I was all thumbs
She especially helped me survive Spanish
I didn't see her again for four years
She had short blonde hair an outstanding beauty
Joanne was the reason I even thought of going to college
Joanne was engaged to a boy who was studying to be a Doctor
Life has so many twists and turns I met Shari in college
After the cheerleader dumped me of coarse
After the Wailers moved on and dumped her
Somewhere out there there is someone looking for us
They are not all beautiful or good looking just lonely
Who knows when they might be standing right next to you
