Twenty minutes went by and I wondered what kept you so long,

Half an hour, forty five minutes?

I wondered what kind of a jam you were in.

Went home in a huff and puff

Mad for keeping me “parking”

The next day went by and I did not see you

in our usual place,

Thought you had other things to do

Two days went by

You never picked my calls or sms

I wondered what was wrong

Went over your place

Your mother told me with a tear on her eye

And I was told you were gone

And never coming back again

I never thought it would be this soon,

Having rides on your “BECKY”

The invites we had and enjoyed

The food we enjoyed at the court

and most of all the gap on your teeth.

Your huge frame will be missed

Wild, real stories that made me realise

The kind of world we live in

You made things a whole lot realer than anybody else

You spoke your mind, with bits of wisdom.

Just like a passing wind you came

And now you are gone.

Rest in peace Big Joe
