OCHO
By Ari Dane
Did I know the man well?
Not in number of years
Still, well enough to share laughter and tears
We’d toast glass of wine
Swap some lies and some truth
With a twinkle in eye he’d spin tales of his youth
Impeccably dressed
The man was all class
Musicians might say,
“That cat is a gas!”
Hey!
None of us knows
What lies 'round the bend
Today we miss Ocho
We all miss our friend
How he loved that Jag!
He’d polish and shine
I’d always joke:
“When you’re finished, do mine!”
Nuthin’ it seemed the guy couldn’t fix
With somethin’ he’d pull out of his bag of tricks
Hey!
None of us knows what lies 'round the bend
Today we miss Ocho
We all miss our friend
Did I know the man well?
Not in number of years
Still, well enough to share laughter and tears
Hey!
None of us knows what lies 'round the bend
Today we miss Ocho
We all miss our friend
