Clancy, my Fictitious friend.
C. J. Black©β
Our mutual friend Fictitious Clancy a bachelor at heart
But committed to his wife of 30 years the long suffering Pricilla Hart
Pricilla too is independent and leads a “single life” from time to time
This suits Fic who likes to show at times – that he is still in his prime
Both have stayed “faithful” down the years but still enjoyed the good life
There is a lesson to be learned from this whether you’re a husband or a wife.
The stories that Fic would relate while we are in each others company
Are not for publication or he would swing for me
But down the years we use one another as a private confessional
It takes a great deal of pressure off in acting quite professional
We are all in need of someone outside of the family circle whom we can trust with what’s on our mind
So when Fic has a problem he’ll look to confide in me no matter what its kind
I could tell you stories that would make the hair stand on your head
But suffice to say I can not snitch, nor light on his confessions shed
As you know by now if you have been following the antics of friend Fic Clancy
You’ll understand from his comical smirk and his flight of fancy
There are times he likes to play at being Jack the Lad
And try and drop me in the mire of which sometimes I’ll admit I’m glad
Fic and I would regularly go on a spree and enjoy a lad’s week-end
The antics we’d get up to you would not comprehend
But as this poem may be published before the water shed
It’s time to call a halt and put this piece to bed
But fear not there is plenty more from the diary of Fic Clancy
That will not shock you be guaranteed of that, but might just well tickle your fancy.
