Undeniably one of the funniest guys I knew.
Never to be taken all that serious
Calculating with your practical jokes
Leaving little chance of getting caught
Endearing as the older brother I never had.
Taken away too soon
Out of the blue
Damn I wish I could have said one more hello
Damn, I wish I never had to say Good-Bye.
Articulate and precise with your inebriated words of wisdom
Random moments of hidden darkness mixed with despair
The only way to escape your pain came with a price of a missed out life.
Little Blue Midge was a two seater that we puttered around in
A few mixed up plugs, an over-heated radiator and dirty filters
Rescued by the side of the road from a fellow neighbor
Unrelentless trying to get the life back into her
Escapade ends with laughter and the promise of another day; another try, another time.
Good to see you back at writing!! Very interesting piece, I hope it isn’t anybody I know (or knew). You always end your stories/prose with a question from me that hasn’t been answered; aka, wanting to know more!!

I found one, “Art” (Articulate) — is Molly, “Midge”? I am still trying to figure out “Blue” because it keeps popping out at me — LOL.
