Charlie Buddy

My buddy, Charlie, my pal,

I am a joker like you,

They call me a psychopath,

Some have named me a buffoon,

I started out like you,

And will end up like you soon,

What shame! Am I being disrespectful?

Pardon me sir,

Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin,

My days are melancholy like yours,

My people lost, no love to care,

And yes! I too love walking in the rain,

So no one can see my tears.

From My Poems: Twenty Ten
