:59:01
That's the reaction l thought l'd get.
:59:03
Everyone in this room has been
Associated with Whitey
:59:06
Through basketball or the mall
:59:08
Or various odd jobs he does around
Town for free or at most a dollar
:59:14
And I'm guessing 99%% of you have
Either laughed in Whitey's face
:59:17
Or ruthlessly made fun of his feet or
Voice or sister or shortness
:59:21
When he wasn't looking
:59:25
But the next time you'd see him, he'd go
Out of his way to smile and wave at you
:59:29
And ask about your mother's operation
:59:31
Because he, unlike us, Cares
about someone other than himself
:59:36
The reason I bring this up to you
:59:40
Is because I was the worst offender
:59:45
Of all
:59:50
My life was simply going nowhere
:59:53
Then a tiny, little man
Rushed to my side
:59:57
He should've gotten a big thank-you
1:00:02
Instead he got a Port-A-Potty ride
1:00:05
I was such a shithead
1:00:09
But he never quit on me
1:00:13
Till I told him he was useless
1:00:17
And his sister was freaky
1:00:20
Once when we were watching
Sunday football
1:00:24
A fuzzy screen was all that
We could see
1:00:29
Whitey came over with a hanger
1:00:33
And spent the game on top of our TV
1:00:36
And when the lightning struck him
1:00:39
He let out a wicked-loud yell
1:00:43
But we just turned up the volume
1:00:48
And ignored the burning smell
1:00:50
We should all rot in hell
1:00:53
I went to high school with Whitey
1:00:57
As a joke I told him to meet me
At the prom
