A short poem about two old school friends.

The School Reunion

Remember me? – I was your mate,
We sat at the desk, next to the grate.
Always together, we were best pals.
Sharing our sweets and looking at gals.

I remember sitting next to the grate,
But don’t recall you as my best mate.
His mopful of hair was as  black as a boot.
You have glasses – and are bald as a coot !

    Lol – I’ve been to a school reunion, never again. The successful go for the wrong reasons, the others don’t count. Potential for lots more articles here.

    Thanks very much drelayaraja, valmnz and mkd1788 for your comments. This was based on comments heard at my own school reunion, with a bit of poetic license.

    So often going back to old places and old faces never seems as great as you think that it will…Time slows for no man….Enjoyed the poem…
