but still one of the boys.
He's got two good buddies.
Here's what he enjoys:
He rides with his friends
in a dapple gray car.
It's quite a short trip,
town's not very far.
He needs lots of room,
so he sits in the back,
as he and his buddies
head for a snack.
They go to the drive-thru,
like regular folk---
cheeseburgers and fries,
please hold the coke!
They eat their lunch
then drive around town.
Patches likes the view
with the top down.
They see dogs in cars
while they're out on their lark,
but Patches is cool---
he'd never bark.
When they get home
they watch the TV.
Patches likes westerns,
as you soon will see.
His friends take advantage,
and make him their lackey,
"Patches, get me a beer!"
How very tacky!
Patches never complains
doesn't give any lip,
hoping they'll give him
just one little sip.
There's a loud ring.
Patches answers the phone,
but he doesn't talk,
he's not verbally prone.
A few beers later,
they put Patches to bed.
He pulls up the covers,
all the way to his head.
Patches had a long day
but he's not what you think.
