SilverRogue: This is a fic for "The Coward of the County." I own absolutely nothing. R/R

.

Everyone considered Gir the dumbest of the Sirs

He'd never stood one single time to prove that they were wrong

His invader called him Gir, but folks just called him stupid

Something always told me they were reading this Gir wrong.

.

He was only ten seconds old when got sent on a mission

Zim looked after his Gir, 'cause he was Zim's chosen one

I still recall the final words an old Sir said to Gir

"Kid my life is over, but yours has just begun".

.

"Promise me kid not to do the things I've done

Walk away from trouble if you can

It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek

I hope you're smart enough to understand

Gir, you don't always have to make a stand".

.

There's a purpose for everyone, and Gir's was helping Zim

In Zim's care he didn't try to prove he was intelligent

One day while Zim was at skool, the Dib human came calling

He used a water gun on Zim (and balloons, there was three of them).

.

Zim walked in the door, and Gir saw him in pain

The burnt face, the shattered look was more than Gir could stand

He reached into his memory, and took out a long-lost file

An as tears fell down his master's face, he heard this words again.

.

"Promise me kid not to do the things I've done

Walk away from trouble if you can

It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek

I hope you're smart enough to understand

Gir, you don't always have to make a stand".

.

The Dib human just laughed at Gir when he walked into his house

He even got up and met him half way cross the floor

When Gir turned around he said "Hey look old stupid's leaving"

But you could have heard a pin drop when Gir stopped and locked Dib's door.

.

A lifetime of crawling were bottled up inside him

Gir would hold nothing back --he let'em have it all

When Gir left the household, The Dib human wasn't standing

Gir said "this ones for Master", as he watched the earth boy fall

(now hear him say)

.

"I promised that Sir not to do the things he's done

I walk away from trouble when I can

Now please don't think I'm weak I didn't turn the other cheek

And by now I should hope he'd understand

Sometimes you gotta fight and make a stand".

.

But everyone considered him the dumbest of the Sirs.
