Dear Editor;

Johnny's death

Is here hard to explain

I've never been real good with words

but I think a lot of people have expressed it here good enough

We can laugh and say

how little old Johnny kept

the gang sane

A pet, of sorts

Because he was little Johnny

Which is odd now

Considerin' I was the same age

Wasn't I?

So he had something I didn't

Not that I ever noticed it till now

but that something was hero.

Yours truly,

Sodapop Curtis
