Chumly

 Chumly

 

I submit to you humbly

To the brats of the frat

Who think they are all that

With eyes dark and glumly

Who will love Chumly?

 

Mugsy was a cool kid

The brothers gave him a bid

To make sure he’d come on board

His roommate Chumly

Got an invite as a sweet reward

 

Well Mugsy couldn’t pull his weight

And bowed out of school

But Chumly wasn’t gone

And he marched on

Some said it was a mistake

Without a doubt

 

Chumly had hair wild and long

The brothers, so cool of course

Faired all the worse

And thought this was so, so, so wrong

So Mark feigning friendship with a smile

Was nice to Chumly for a while

And took him to a barber

To get a clip with exquisite style

 

The first shall be last and the last shall be first

And as I look back over those days dark and cruel

I really don’t know who was the worst?

Or which of us was the biggest fool

I have learned kindness and the golden rule

And say today that Chumly was cool

 

Remember your opinion isn’t as valid as mine

I have inspiration pure and divine

And the words contained in this rhyme

Will live through the ages for all time
