ODE TO DAVID

 

Ode to David, the Hail Fellow Well Met

In the courtyard where stories unfold,
Where laughter and smoke trails are bold,
There’s one who leads with a radiant cheer,
Our friend David, the spirit we hold dear.

Effervescent, with a smile so wide,
Ebullient soul with the world on his side,
He’s the first to greet, the last to retreat,
A true friend to all, making life sweet.

Out in the gathering where smokers unite,
David’s the spokesman, our guiding light.
With a joke on his lips and warmth in his eyes,
He lifts up our spirits, no need to disguise.

Hail fellow well met, wherever he goes,
The kind of good soul everyone knows.
He’s more than just kind; he’s laughter and song,
A friend who reminds us that we all belong.

Whether we’re sitting to chat or just stroll,
David’s the heart that enlivens the whole.
In this place where we share our days and our tales,
He’s the breeze in our sails, the wind that prevails.

Cheers to David, our friend tried and true,
Whose spirit shines bright, whose laughter breaks through.
We’re grateful for him, our constant delight,
A man who brings joy, a perpetual light.
