Ode to Michael Cassio





Oh woe is me, for on this day,
My dearest friend has passed away.
A fearless soul who's silent might,
Made each and every day so bright.

He hovered still above each soul,
His beating wings did heavens extol.
His straight and sure proboscis might,
Kept all from fear and banished fright.

He ne'er spoke ill of any one
and brought about much joy and fun.
He, like a ray lit all our lands.
Till he was juiced, 'twixt Tisha's hands.


Yes, she killed him... She will most likely be eternally damned.
No offense Tish...yeah, not true... you offended mother nature...and Michael.

Obituary:
It turns out Michael was a bee fly. A darn [randi can use her word] good one at that. He joined us for lunch every day. For the first time on May 8th he graced us with his eternal presence. He would chase away other bugs that sought us harm and he would play games with us. His cute fuzzy body may be gone, but his gigantic proboscis soul will forever live on. Goodbye Michael Cassio.

  2. he was partial to my nappyheadedness..
    and i will forever miss him.
    though i only knew him for a short time..
    he brought out a certain sense of joy in my soul.
    why do murders have to occur?
    the sudden burst of life is shattered with an eternal ending..
    sad sad news.
    we love you sir michael cassio.

  5. "Juiced" is such a wonderful verb.
