In reply to the discussion: Making fun of someone who died of cancer, has cancer, or potentially has cancer is NO JOKE!!!!!! [View all]Texas-Limerick
(93 posts)19. Soptic Joe
Down in Kansas City where the workers all go
There a big steelworker named Soptic Joe
Married his high school sweetheart, his perfect match
She had a heart of gold and was so pretty, what a catch
Soptic Joe, now look at him go
Soptic, Soptic
Soptic Joe, go man go
Oh, oh, oh, oh Soptic Joe
She snuggled up to him when they went down the road
They bought a little house, and he happily carried the load
An old fixer upper, making their time together a little more fun
And had a big back yard , where their little ones could run
Soptic Joe, now look at him go
Soptic, Soptic
Soptic Joe, go man go
Oh, oh, oh , oh Soptic Joe
One day they called him to the office,
to see the clerk
They offered him a buyout, but Joe said, buddy, I'd rather work
Work was hard but steady, he wasn't told things had changed
He didn't know the truth, until the day the gate was chained
Soptic Joe, now look at him go
Soptic, Soptic
Soptic Joe, go man go
Oh, oh, oh, oh Soptic Joe
Soptic Joe was out of work, for six months straight
Before he took a low paying job, for his family's sake
He'd have to pay for the family coverage, it was very crude
But Joe had other obligations, like shelter and food
Soptic Joe, now look at him go
Soptic, Soptic
Soptic Joe, go man go
Oh, oh, oh, oh Soptic Joe
It was tough but they lived on love, she was no ordinary chick
Until the day his sweet wife said, honey I feel sick
She kept it to herself, while she gave and gave
Until the doctors told Joe, she was impossible to save
Soptic Joe, look at him go
Soptic, Soptic
Soptic Joe, go man go
Oh oh oh oh Soptic Joe
Oh huh-oh oh, poor Joe

OP
I know that no one at DI has ever made fun of those with cancer or any life-threatening ailment.
