Saby Charlie Brown wins your heart with his losing ways.
It always rains on his parade, his baseball game, and his life.
He's an inveterate worrier who frets over trifles
(but who's to say they're trifles?).
Although he is concerned with the true meaning of life,
his friends sometimes call him "blockhead."
Other than his knack for putting himself down,
there are few sharp edges of wit in his repertoire;
usually he's the butt of the joke, not the joker.
He can be spotted a mile away in his sweater
with the zig zag trim, head down, hands in pocket,
headed for Lucy's psychiatric booth.
He is considerate, friendly and polite
and we love him knowing that he'll never win a baseball game
or the heart of the little red-haired girl,
kick the football Lucy is holding
or fly a kite successfully.
His friends call him "wishy-washy,"
but his spirit will never give up in his quest to triumph over adversity.
