My Good Friend

I’d like to tell you 
about my good friend
a constant companion 
best friends til the end

she’s always been there
boosting my spirits
wrapping me in warmth
oh isn’t she the dearest

she’s super duper fun
the life of the party
but back in highschool
it was her making me tardy

everyone loves her
insisting I share
we pass her around
but she doesn't seem to care

always plenty of laughs
she's guaranteed to provide
passing out munchies
and constant good vibes

we enjoy listening to Marley 
and other good  tunes
never any bad ones
she makes us immune

sometimes she sparkles
and then she’s way more fun
everyone loves her
except for... maybe the nuns

even after all these years
she makes me very happy
I breathe her all in
and I never feel crappy

the best part of it all
she takes away my pain
she’s my good friend
I call her Mary Jane
