Ode to Del

Caution: THIS ODE CONTAINS RHYMES THAT ARE FORCED!!!

Ode to Del

Have you seen my friend Del?
Could you tell me if he's well?
I haven't seen him for some time
He doesn't like clowns or mimes
Does he live in house or a palace?
Last I heard he lived in Dallas
You can coax him out with fingers of chicky
when it comes to food you'll find him picky
Wait! Hark! He answered his phone
Del is around! He's finally home!
Want a job down here I asked he?
I'll try it and we'll wait and see
Then the clouds did part in the sky
Del has driven his maroon Jeep by
He enters the interview in a suit
making his point in a voice close to mute.
He got the job! He is a teacher here!
We're working together for this school year.
For those viewers confused by the poem
Del has a job at MY Maryland school far from his home!

(Del is my friend from college pictured in last Friday's "Back to the Day" post.)
