A girl named "Boo". A guy I slightly knew. She slept with him for the night. He threw her out before the morning light...
 

I wrote a poem about it because of the way he treated her, this girl from the streets. His father was a millionaire and this kid thought he was better than us. Better than the less fortunate. He got his though. His father stopped giving him money. Stopped paying his way. Maybe there is justice in this world.

MR. SLY

 Mr. Sly.

Always catchin',

The ladies eye.

Always hatchin',

Another chick.

You don't even have to try.

You're to slick,

Mr. Sly.

 

Mr. Sly.

You're so sweet.

But not too shy,

To the women you meet.

You're so nice,

An' too cool.

Sometimes cold like ice.

'Cause you ain't nobody's fool.

Mr. Sly.

 

Mr. Sly.

You howdy an' Mam 'em.

Take them so high.

Just to slam-bam them.

An' then say good-bye.

You don't walk,

You fly.

Listen to you talk,

Mr. Sly.

I ran into her many years later, but I didn't know it. Not until after she married my best friend. Not until I put the pieces of the puzzle together. A girl named "Boo", from Idaho, who hung out in the same neighborhood...

 

The end of the story? She's an evil bitch. Took my friend on a vicious emotional rollercoaster ride. Treated him like shit. Only lived for money. They finally got a divorce. He's now married to a wonderful woman who we love, and "Boo" is back in Idaho driving a potato truck... Yes, there is justice in this world.
