What a Funny Girl
© by J. Holmes

You always looked a little out of place
All grown up with freckles on your face
We'd spend each night with company
Just you, the teddy bear, the dolls and me
What a funny girl you used to be…

You always had a thousand things to do
Getting all involved in something new
Always some new recipe
The kitchen always looked like world war three
What a funny girl you used to be…

It was so good with you around,
You always found a smile
Where smiles could not be found

I never ever met person more sincere
You'd always listen with an open ear
You'd fall for lines so easily
Whatever they were selling,
You'd buy three
What a funny girl you used to be….
