   I lost my way to the poetry group so I thought I'd leave this revised copy of   
   something I wrote here just in case anyone is interested:   
      
   Song to Bob   
      
   I'm here in this world sixty years from back then   
   In the times we all hoped for then would be when   
   We'd be seeing the progress and fruits of our dreams   
   Not the differences in what is and what seems.   
      
   Zippity Dee we sing you a song   
   'Bout the choices in life we learned that were wrong   
   For the price that we pay for a world gone astray   
   And the things that can happen when we go our own way.   
      
   You've thought of these things already I'm sure   
   And think of them nightly forever on tour   
   We all have these thoughts on this we agree   
   'Cause we know the masks don't make us anymore free.   
      
   Here's to Larry and Ratso and your favorite gumshoe   
   And those whose times have been lived around you   
   For the age of celebrity was borne to begin   
   And comes with a dollar and stays without sin.   
      
   It never mattered if I come or I go   
   Even if tickets are there for the show   
   Because all the words you've already sung   
   Will still be here long after we're gone.   
      
   Oh hey Bobby D you don't owe me a thing   
   All you ever wanted to do was to sing   
   And for all those words that you’ve ever been leavin'   
   I'd say that for now that we're pretty much even.
