They called him Chubby

Though he was sleek and fast

His verbal jousting
Never ran out of gas

He played all sports
And played them extremely well

You’d swear
As he kept on taunting you

That his head did actually swell!

Dearest brother and I

Would practice morning noon and night
To the break of dawn

Until the moonlit night

For that one day
When we could say

We’d won!

Never let him forget
Our glorious day in the sun

Sometimes in Life

You need someone
To give you the get-up and go

It can make the difference
Between Also-ran and
All-Pro
