3.Dodo

By dean friedman

I have a friend, he is a remarkable guy. he teaches little
children in bedford sty.
Act too nice they'll just spit in your eye. but they know he
loves them.
He doesn't make much money and what he does he gives away.
It's not that he's foolish it's just his way.
He drove his first wife crazy and his second wife too. he says
he wishes he could change. but i know that that's not true.

He's a dodo.
He's a dodo.
He's a dodo.
He's a dodo bird

I know a woman she is 43. she spends every day of her life in
the library.
She studies neo-classical poetry. she says truth is beauty.
Surrounded by her books, she barely ever stirs, while all around
her the laptops purr.
Her heart is full of passion and the struggle for the good.
She'd sprout wings to fly away but even if she could

She's a dodo
She's a dodo
She's a dodo
She's a dodo bird

She believes in the love and beauty shining in us all.
She believes in hope and prayer and the meaning of it all.

I met a child like a flower in the sun. she puts her faith and
trust in everyone.
She isn't blind, it's just she's too young to see right through
you.
But she doesn't realize the danger she is in.
People try to warn her but she doesn't listen.
Spirited, determined, stubborn and naive.
Mourn for her lost innocence for which she soon must grieve.

She's a dodo.
She's a dodo
She's a dodo
She's a dodo bird.
