My Buddy (Mis Amigote)



Her name is Corina
‘what’s the deal yo’
She dove in the marina
In every shore you know

We went to san fran
To Vegas and LA
I lost her once in San Juan
Found her at the end of the day

We're soon going to Germany
Spain, Italy, France and Libnan
It will be a great journey
Unless i lost her again

She’s my Opera cohort
And my biking friend
We have the same white coat
Mine is missing a button at the end

She gets my ups and downs
She says I’m sometimes rude
And when we’re on the town
She saves me from the wrong dude

She says she’s from the hood
A tough chick with a heart like honey
And when we’re in a bad mood
We dream of summer, warm and sunny

She has a thing for teeth
No funky business at all
She wants a guy like Keith
The dear actor, nice and tall

Her Arabic is better than mine
Her favorite word is majnoun
she says my fattoush is mighty fine
and loves falafel from Ma’moun

I tempt her to eat meat
she says 'Man you're mean
In hell you have a seat
i'll stick to my rice and bean'

In science we face the same threat
Same frustrations and altercations
but now she shouldn't sweat
On my blog she's a publication

To her nephew she's a great aunt
she's very giving and very caring
to give her enough credit, i can't
at least not with the readers sharing

True we drive each other mad
But I won’t give up just yet
She’s been there through good and bad
In her friendship I won the bet

That was so sweet Mirvat. It put a smile on my face. We have had alot of great adventures and many more to come. The white coats forever.

By the way Keith was all you;)

Gus: I sat 2 benches away from you. We really never talk, but maybe you will remember me.

Its just us enjoying ourselves. You enjoy life more when you don't take yourself so seriously ;)


Gus: Miss you too. I have a two hour void in my day now that you are gone.
