Best Poems Written by Janelle Peters

Friend of Bill

I am a "friend of Bill"
hope you don't know that thrill
but if you do, trust me
Bill's the hardest friend I had lately

Bill doesn't take no duff
and doesn't take no lies
Bill sees right through you
before you even try

I was friends with Bob sometime
before I met with Bill
and Bob was quite the slob sometimes
but was really , really chill

Bob was happy stealing pills
and selling them to a mob
at the time; I thought to myself
"I really like this Bob"

but you see Bob he drug me down
so deep below the dirt
only my fingertips poking through the sand
if you got down close enough
you could grab me by the hand

and then someone did they pulled me out
another "Friend of Bill"
they offered me the big big book
instead of a tiny thrill

in my position
I thought hell, why not give it a try?
another foot of dirt on me
I'd suffocate and die

So Bill's my new best friend
and he's a friend to many
he could be a friend to you to
if you feel Bob's growing old on you
