Love Poem: Phyllis, Oh Phyllis

Phyllis, Oh Phyllis

Phyllis, Oh Phyllis 

to my dearest friend Phil

our time together was just one great big thrill

those times that we hung out at the senior citizen's center hall

we socialized with old friends and simply had a ball

the days when we would eat at the same old pizza shop

and over a few slices we would laugh non-stop

and during our shopping therapy at Pathmark

we stay for an hour or two and leave with an empty cart

we'd always fill that cart with something

and always came home carrying nothing

Phyllis, oh Phyllis 

with your gorgeous silver gray hair

so many times I wish you were still here

Phyllis, Oh Phyllis

with those beautiful eyes of blue

I just want you to know that I still love and miss you
