Friends

Dustin Scarlett 1989 (North Bay Ontario)



There was a squirrel named Juliet,
who was so all alone.
She met a brand new love one day,
whose name was Romeo...

Her family didn't think too much,
for chipmunks have no tail...
but for all the things and such,
their love did prevail...

Nothing could have felt so right,
but still could be so wrong,
for try and try and try all night,
until their love was gone...

A candle in the wind they say,
blowing on the breeze,
for they both had took their lives,
and they passed with ease....

I guess the real lesson here,
is listen to the heart,
if you can't then you must go,
way back to the start...
