"LAST TIME I SAW THE THREE, THEY WERE WAVING ME GOODBYE..."

I had rolled over in bed

And butt called you today

And it was eerie,

To hear your voice again

As I recalled

"This is Ben Neece..." 

Telling me you weren't available

To take my call

And I realized that this December 12

Two years ago

You left us, Ben

Same thing happened with Ruben

"This is the law firm of Ruben Herrera..."

And I hung up

Shaken

Because, you too, have left

And just this past October

As I listened to Latin Jazz notes

Wafting

In downtown Browntown

I remembered George

And the Crescent Moon

And then Half Moon...

Which he ran with Ben

And also left too soon

"Hello, this is George Ramirez..."

The recording said

But I hung up instead

Such is fickle fate

Dear brothers

Which brought us close

Only for Death

To rip those bonds

Judge Ben sang for Justice

Ruben to learn kids Law

George to celebrate our Life 

I turned on the radio...

And heard your voice again

"This is KXIQ, 

Commercial-free, educational radio..."
