The Ballad of Duane (Actual Photo!)

"I have to go now. I'll call you tomorrow.
When I'll be on the top of Mount Kilamanjaro!"
My wife's eyes became moist. "Oh that was poor Duane."
I put down my pen and said "The poor fellow's insane."
Five years ago when I came on the scene.
She confessed to poor Duane "Oh, I love Joe Green"
The poor guy took it hard and tried to forget he
Ran to the mountains with the yaks and the Yeti.
"I've finished my sonnet." "Oh, I love you, Joe!"
And poor Duane tried to sleep in the wind and the snow.
