It’s simply
about joining
them (like dots) , really
... the good moments,
I mean.
It can be done, you know.
(I had lots of them
today
- in between, well...
The Others.)
You just need to hem them
and then tug them a little
especially at the corners
to cover The Others
and then
stitch them
together
quickly
and
neatly
or
as quickly
and as neatly
as you can
and Bob is your friend.
You see, he can’t be your uncle
because nobody – or almost nobody -
has an Uncle Bob.
Raise your hand those with an Uncle Bob?
... You see, very few of you
have an Uncle Bob
so he will have to be your friend
- except, of course, for those of you
who have a real Uncle Bob.
Now,
with The Others
stitched safely away,
and your good friend, Bob,
... what more could you possibly want?
