an ode to a dearly missed friend, "Paula" below, who made my day when she read it and posted her comments below. Love you too J, ALWAYS! xoxoXOXO, Rose (demo available soon)

Sunny, funny,
bunny blue,
Tell me
how the hell
are you,
and tell me how
you do your do,
sunny, funny
bunny-blue........

Cunning, funny,
bunny-blue.....
tell me
where the hell
are you,
and tell me
what's a girl to do
about missing
a friend like you....


the yesterday-dream
I had cleaned
out of my closet-mind,
re-appeared today
and to my dismay,
I'd find
that even though
you bothered so
with some obnoxious
comments,
I find that I cannot escape
how badly I've been
longing

for my
Sunny, funny,
bunny blue,
Tell me
how the hell
are you,
and tell me how
you do your do,
sunny, funny
bunny-blue........

Cunning, funny,
bunny-blue.....
tell me
where the hell
are you,
and tell me
what's a girl to do
about missing
a friend like you....


to hear your voice,
to shake my head
at one un-funny jokes,
but funny, still,
I laugh, somehow
the memory unfolds
a wistful plea
inside my heart
for your occasional loud ways
and how your contradict
allowed
for such uncommon grace...

Sunny, funny,
bunny blue,
Tell me
how the hell
are you,
and tell me how
you do your do,
sunny, funny
bunny-blue........

Cunning, funny,
bunny-blue.....
tell me
where the hell
are you,
and tell me
what's a girl to do
about missing
a friend like you....

(spoken softly)
the yesterday-gleam
I had gleaned
out of my frosty mirror,
re-appeared today
but I thought I would see it clearer,
and even though
we weathered so
many years and
frustrations-
why then
was so easily
our friend-foundation
shaken.....?

(sing)
I hear your voice
inside my head
as memory unfolds
the silly
then-meaningless
how-tos
you used then
to scold
me, but how much I miss them now
with you and your broad ways,
and how your contradict
allowed for such
uncommon grace....

Sunny, funny,
bunny blue,
Tell me
how the hell
are you,
if you know nothing
else about me now

know that

I

miss

you....
