Dear Editor;
In regards
to the death of Johnny
who was my best buddy
and still is
I was wondering if anyone knew
Had ever guessed
What it had been like when he ran in there
He wasn't scared
I know for sure
I was there
Right along with him
I'm not askin' for any credit
He died
He deserves it
I just wanted you
to know how brave
My buddy Johnny had been
When he ran in
And died because of it
He was the gallant one
And I just wanted everyone to know it
Sincerely,
Ponyboy Curtis
