I will tell you a story about my friend Ben
Always rating my poetry with a perfect ten
One macho guy in our simple town
Last year, he takes home the Mr. Admirable crown
There's really something about my friend Ben
He really likes the journey of my talkative pen
He said its prettiness afar from the rose
Dancing gracefully while in paper leaving its ghost
Indeed I have a story about my friend Ben
Who reads my drafts again and again
Little I've realized that it's more than it seems to be
Until I've heard him saying "he loves me as me"
I've felt sorry then, for my longtime friend Ben
The only poem I could dedicate to him
Was a poem for a friend
I will tell you a story about my friend Ben
He changed his name now
She called herself Jen...

It is more than a song than a poem... It has a tune, sadly my voice is not good now to record it. Thank you...
