~Squeaks-Squeaker-Squeakems~
How can my words describe our friend Shawn?
Who makes us laugh although he's now gone.
Our memory of him will never end,
Though it may take time for our hearts to mend.
I'll never forget that face with his goofy smile.
I'll never forget when I heard of his last mile.
His life never really was perfect,
But on us it had the biggest affect.
We'll miss the smiles, the laughes, and daring each other to do things we know we wouldn't.
We'll rejoice the life lived, and not dwell on the things we know we shouldn't.

Squeaks was a son, a brother, and most of all a friend,
Because his friendship he would always lend.

Squeaks...
We'll sing the songs that make your memory go on.
It won't even seem like your gone.
God knows It's going to be hard.
I got to admit my heart is scarred.
But I know your in an awesome place.
Up in Heaven looking on our dads face.

I've cried my eyes out, and theres nothing else to do,
Except write this poem for you,
And let everyone know whats true...
Squeaks, We'll all soon be together.
You think we're apart? Never!
This could never seperate us... we're friends forever!

(Only one more thing to say)
Shawn... thank you for your friendship you would always lend.
I'll meet you at the East gate my friend!

(For our beloved friend... Shaun Givney (Squeaks))

~The Cody Show~

Welcome to the life that's full of twisted feelings, rumored lies, and friendly killings.
You'll analyze this poem like you did the rest.
Then you'll ask if I am feeling down, "Maybe depressed?"
But you'll miss the point that's in every writing.
You'll miss it because your to busy focused on the fighting.

You see...
You might believe that poetry is a "window to the sole" (as I have so often been told)
And if so... do you think mine is a gaping hole?
And you'll dance around the subject at hand, because you're not really sure where it will land.

What's so funny is that you don't even know.
By the way...
Welcome to the Cody show.

Welcome to my show.
I'm so glad you could come.
Sit down to watch, and have some fun.
Have a seat and relax a little.
I've made it easy, even though it might seem like a riddle.

But you're going to try to analyze it anyway.
So there's not much I can say.
Nothing at least that you shouldn't already know.
And by the way...
Welcome to the Cody show.

This is better then reality T.V.
Because you know how fake this can really be.

(This is the Cody show... It's not your show... this is my favorite show)
