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...

I love the lyrical quality of this poem, Hmm and the abrupt turn of events in the last two lines.

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...
