Hey lady, will you for me something do?
It’s encrypted here especially for you.
Been back home to SB,
For old friends there to see?
No? Well, bet your mom thinks you’re overdue!
Have you heard from the one down there I love?
The one only you grasps whom I speak of,
The pretty girl I did woo
From your class of ’62;
She, who is endowed by God up above!
I thought that during your half-century reunion
Next year, perhaps me to her you might mention;
I won’t that meet attend,
So on you I depend.
For fear I yield to some maudlin emotion!
Tho, she and I have loved (since) way back then
Those unions spawned her two, and my three, children.
Death took away
From me one day
My missus. And left my heart heavyladen!
Anyway, next time you two make connection,
I know in advance – and here’s my prediction:
I’ll love that girl always
For the rest of my days,
Tho, I know she’ll not make the same confession!
