Big Daft Dave

Big Daft Dave With his smiley round face Has left this life For a maybe better place. I'd not seen him For many a long while But I'll never forget His why me smile Or his great Infectious grin; Dave was never slow At getting them in. Too late I heard He'd just recently passed But he'd remained a card To the very last. His cremation arranged To the nth degree The minister said, As it was told to me, When asked if he would like Any Effects put in his coffin He apparently said Put a fire extinguisher in Humour me For pity’s sake Just in case You’ve made a mistake Big Daft Dave Always loved the absurd As he showed with those few Almost final words. I can see him now With that big daft grin At a heavenly bar Getting his round in, And wearing all the while That great big daft why me smile.
