Billy

Billy always read the
sex-fantasy letters
he got from his chick
aloud to all the grunts

God only knows what he
did with them later on

but we did

the last one he got
must've been a dear John
'cuz this one he burned

"Let's consult Dr. Doobie
about this problem of yours.
This good doc is Columbian!"
I said to him, whipping out
a bag of the world's finest

the doctor was indeed
a true professional

had Billy laughing
about the bitch
who ran off with
a poet who plays
the tambourine

this moment
flying so high
with the good doc
even charlie was
a real hoot
