your bunny looking’ chubby face,
That soundless wide grin; wore
a bullhorn spectacle rim,
with your flawless squawking jokes,
you are funny alright.

You stole the show wherever
you squatted, - they were in love
when you parted, life with you around
was filled with laughter,
O you are funny alright.

O That was that sunny-day
planned for a jaunt to a pond - to
make it a funny day. You with your mute
wide grin, jumped into the pond,
dipped and rose like a toddler’s prose -
with your soundless wide grin wrapping
all over your rotund face - O you are funny alright.

Friends stood around laughing and applauding
At your clowning act; your wide bulging eyes,
hushed wide grin still on your face, dipped,
but you never bothered to rise;
O that wasn’t funny nor right.

You left us forever with an inerasable mute grin
on our face, tears filled to the brim in our eyes
never to dry, to you O, God, that was funny alright.

Oh my lord Franco
,
I was so caught up with the antics the severe twist and tragedy at the end just blew me away.
Wow such a sad end to a delightful beginning.

Hugs and much love to you
Michelle

Oh Franco, my friend... I started smiling when I read this but my smile slowly disappeared ... This is so sad, but so wonderful to have and to share those memories.. May she forever live on in your heart..
Hugs
