Oh Derrick, where are thou?


My little brother and best friend Derrick left us all for the super warmth of Arizona. I miss him like crazy as he's been my sidekick for quite some years now. But I know that he is gonna have a BLAST in Arizona come November when its warm there and we are freezing our a$$es off here. To mark this momentous occasion....I would like to treat you all to an original Stefanie Farnsworth poem:

Oh Derrick, where art thou? The place just ain't the same.
Alice asks where you are, though she can't pronounce your name.

Many people will miss your always smiling face.
But I guess they could look for it up on MySpace.

We're happy that Alexa has decided to keep you around.
I guess she's mostly the reason you're southern bound.

Remember to always wear sunscreen and drink lots of water.
And I hope you don't miss the new movie with Harry Potter.

I hear that Arizona has delicious nuts,
but all in all, we'll miss your stinkin' guts.


Love ya Derrick!

"I hear Arizona has delicious nuts?" Do you have any sources to back that up?

I'm gonna miss you, my buddy, my pal.
