And then there is Donny

Friendship between men and women
is a rarity - but it does happen
and then there is Donny
maybe because I am ugly and not available
otherwise it is only between gays an me.
This is the premise
And then there is Donny!
A happy/ agitated Irishman
my little brother in arms of wine, soul and song.
A man who knows popular ballads
and then there is Donny!
A kindred spirit in in surprising ways
and we laugh and we joke
talk dirty and accept the craziness
and then there is Donny
It is not what he is or what he isn't
he is just a human Irishman
who likes living and motorcycling
and biking and his wife and his girls
and then there is Donny.
Spending an evening with him
listening to him sing with the songs
of yesteryear and melodies
dancing in the room while he is grilling
and then there is Donny
we laugh we drink we are merrymaking
and sadness prevails at the same time
a full life's circle in less than three hours
and then there is Donny.
