Sosoetry - Sunboy

My brother from another mother.

there is a lad named Sunboy
knowing him is truly a joy
since he was a tiny tyke
he loved to go fast on his bike
soon he was training at cycling camp
and transformed into a racing champ
pumping ferociously those pedals
and winning fistfuls of medals
but one sad and fateful day
chance would make a cruel play
he sustained a serious head injury
all because a moron was in a hurry
he could have ended up dead
or confined to a lifetime in bed
for a time the grim reaper hovered
but in due course he recovered
he certainly beat the odds
possibly he’s smiled on by the gods
some would consider him a golden child
others might think he became a bit wild
taking acid at the grateful dead
did a lot to mend his scrambled head
he took his settlement cash
went to India and smoked hash
spent months in Nepal
and had a ruby temple ball
became a born again buddhist
and indulged his desire to be a nudist
bought many beautiful killims
and learned to use a chillum
he stayed at an ashram with a brahman
and came home looking like a rastaman
but to running a business he kept himself applied
keeping many artists well supplied
at various endeavours he is quite able
from mixing tunes on turn tables
and the ancient art of tattoo
well it seems he’s learning that too
he finds it tough to tattoo rigid shapes
but he sure can create wicked mix tapes
he always throws a fine birthday bash
at which he freely shares his stash
spinning sets of juicy beats
sharing with friends some tasty treats
on his shins are shivas from Goa
on his chin’s a chevron from Samoa
at one time he had dreads
now he simply shaves his head
his home is scented by nag champa
a house he shares with Yolanda
he lives with a cat that is quite mad
yet she loves him as though he is her dad
that nasty rotten surly cat
only he’s allowed to give her a pat
he speaks with a booming voice
and goes through life with honour and poise
he comports himself with more class than any royal
to those he loves he’s true and loyal
he’s devoted his life to a fine lady
together they’re soon to have a baby
I don’t think he’ll find it a bother
to be a really superb father
he’ll take the responsibility in stride
and see to it their child is raised right
to many people he is a great friend
let’s hope he remains so till a distant end
