I have a friend,

Carole with an, ‘e’,

who always,

courted tragedy.

 

She is the one,

that you will know,

skirt tucked in pants,

she crossed the road.

 

With flashing earrings –

Disco diva,

at party time,

you dare not leave her.

 

Across the floor,

her stuff she’ll strut,

with loo roll fluttering,

from her foot.

 

She plays the bagpipes,

I swear it’s true!

With cheeks bright red,

she’ll kill a tune!

 

If she were a colour,

I have to say,

shocking pink,

would make her day!

 

You know the saying…

Why’s it me?

That comes from my friend,

Carol Withany.

 

We all will know,

a Carole Withany,

she is the best friend,

that could ever be!
