Doggerel Dave

\"Everybody Knows Dave\"

Dave was bragging to a mate one day

That he knew all and everyone – fair play:

While skepticism ruled in his mate,

He found himself keen to take the bait.

So was hauled off for several meetings

With famous persons, received warm greetings:

Tom Cruise, Pres Trump, UK PM all came good,

And greeted Dave the way old friends should.

(But his mate still was skeptical):

“Ok then, but what about, say, the Pope?”

However Dave won’t be taken for a dope

(Takes him to Italy for something exceptional).

St Peter’s Square; the crowd awaits the Pope,

But Dave believes with that many there’s little hope

So sorts it with the guards and disappears….

Up on the balcony appear two figures;

And this is when the whole thing is the test

As to whether Dave really knows the rest……

‘Cos the bloke next to Dave’s mate is asking

Who’s that next to Dave doing the praying?
