The Best Man Speech

What was supposed to be the happiest day,
Turned into a memory that's not great.
A day I try not to remember,
But I have to relive it to find you its fate.
I wanted you to know,
That I had the best that I could prepare
The best man speech of the year I hope,
With you now where you are, I will share.

Here's a speech about a male, 
Who really taught me how to be one. 
A male who is now a married male, 
A male who will raise a great son. 
My friend Gus, Gusty, Gusters, 
Or the way I refer to him Gustavo.
Many different names with the same heart, 
An all right, down, good fellow. 
Now I know that speeches like this
Are one that no one wants to hear, 
But chill out and relax, 
Its only a couple minutes 'til you get your beer.
So I'm going to tell you a little bit, 
About the male who sits before thee, 
The male who I have to say
Who has done nothing but help me. 
Even the days when we were young
And he bullied me left and right, 
Little did I know that many years later, 
Me and this guy would be so tight. 
Now back in the day we weren't very nice
It was always him and a bunch of girls, 
I ate lunch alone as
He was always rocking each one of their worlds
I was the chubby kid that had no chance, 
No matter how hard I tried. 
But after rejection, that changed, when Gus
Saw how hard after I had cried. 
He was the one that I always looked up to, 
The guy who taught me a lot. 
The guy who no matter how many times I screwed up, 
He always gave me another shot. 
You helped me discover a person, 
With a personality, social skills, and talent; myself.
Because of it, now that frame of us, 
Sits at the top of my book shelf. 
Your words that you've spoken to me, 
Have basically paved my way. 
And turned me into
The crazy male I am today. 
But even with the craziness, 
I have learned so much from this guy. 
It's really no wonder, 
Why he was the apple of every teacher's eye. 
But things all changed one day when
Gus brought home a special gift.
A true sweetheart, with a big smile, 
Who brought everyone's energy level up a lift
Her connection to him happened so fast, 
I knew that it was serious. 
I think its all safe to say, 
When yal broke up we were furious. 
But it needed to happen I realized why, 
Because as machines we have to be certain. 
Before you walk down the isle of no return
Because your stuck with them, you don't want to be hurtin'
But that's what married life is,
A bunch of big and little decisions. 
Except now instead of one crazy mind, 
You go two outrageous opinions. 
But there's no doubt that these two boogers
Were definitely mean to be wed.
This damn poem poem has gone on long enough, 
You get it, he's great! Enough said.
So I raise a toast to the two of these bots, 
May the best years lie ahead of you
May you deal with the same pains in the metal, 
That you put both of your parents through. 
May you get small headaches when your kids ask
For candy's at the grocery store.
May you listen to me and don't have little ones
Till year number four. 
May you build a life full, 
Of love, peace, and trust. 
May you remember when how strong your love is, 
When your outsides start to rust. 
May you enjoy, life, and always remember, 
I'm just a phone call away. 
And I'll remember not to call u on brain slugs
When you have work the next day. 
I love you both forever and ever. 
Let me stop before I can't think.
Can someone get me and Gustavo, 
Two brain slugs, yes we'll take pink. 


I wish I could have said the speech,
Before they came and took you away.
It's getting late I'm off to bed,
You'll hear this is person, Some day.... I promise
