Jasper
Then there was Jasper
With a want for freewill
The dreamer of the pack
Whose mind was never still
Not the smartest of the troop
But their company he loved
Although sometimes with Dan
Was a push and a shove
Jasper was the movie man
From under-the-counter they came
Classic video nasties
Not what you‘d call acclaimed
Was also a bit of a gamer
All started with a cassette
School lunches in the computer room
Playing ‘Scramble’ on the PET
And if the room was locked
Played cards at the lunch room top table
Larry’s Mams, tuna fish sandwich
Always a lunch time staple
As for all the girlies
Bad chat up lines he knew
But there was Amanda and Jane
Early relationships that never grew
He tried a bit of acting
Played the heartless Tin Man
Fell in love with his makeup artist
And left behind his oil can
Not much of a dancer
But Hip Hop he loved
Rapping J for a moment or three
But that idea was soon shoved
Another memory that I recall
Were his father’s raves
New Years Eve at Jaspers House
Where everyone misbehaved
I think he turned out alright
A little bit radio rental
Stomping loudly through life
With passion his main credential
