ommmmmmmmm

farewell to the vines shoe shine guy, david mather

ommmmmmmmm

i used to get into great conversations with him

ommmmmmmmm

and he hated the sound of the song 'when a bloke gets married'
he didn't believe the song existed

ommmmmmmmm

he used to drive me home from the brumbies matches

ommmmmmmmm

he gave me many of his brumbies caps

ommmmmmmmm

it was a good connection with me and stephen and david

ommmmmmmmm

he used to tell me the right way to talk so i could be respected

ommmmmmmmm

it used to be great talking to him at vinnies

ommmmmmmmm

i used to say he would be the shoe shine guy in heaven,
when people entered he would shine their shoes, he said
he didn't want that  though

ommmmmmmmm

give david mather a good send off to his next life

ommmmmmmmm

but it's a shame that his death meant he won't be around post the coronavirus

ommmmmmmmm

but he had an excellent life, though

ommmmmmmmm

he was always ringing the council if they weren't doing their jobs properly like ******* on ovals and council grass that needs mowing

ommmmmmmmm

he used to like good music like eva cassidy and supported damien death on australian idol, i wonder if he liked the voice for the nice singers

ommmmmmmmm

may his next life be really grand

ommmmmmmmm ommmmmmmmm ommmmmmmmm
goodbye to the great shoe shining man named

DAVID MATHER
