I am in need of a friend<\/p>\n
All I could come up with in the end<\/p>\n
Was to cook one up myself<\/p>\n
A couple of books off my shelf<\/p>\n
A character\u2019s smile, another\u2019s eyes<\/p>\n
One\u2019s truth and another\u2019s lies<\/p>\n
Birthed from a movie and gown up in another<\/p>\n
3 sisters, yes and maybe one brother<\/p>\n
Next I stir in religious devotion<\/p>\n
And a drop of utmost loyalty, maybe a little obedience<\/p>\n
I\u2019m nearly there, one final ingredient<\/p>\n
Life, where shall I find life to breathe into my puppet?<\/p>\n
How will I push that final button?<\/p>\n
I travelled and searched and strived in vain<\/p>\n
My friend must remain<\/p>\n
Lifeless, simply singing to me in the end<\/p>\n
