Then & Now Poem by Randy McClave

When I was younger my friends and I talked about girls
And how we loved to watch their kicks and twirls,
Also we always bragged about our every kiss
Even the ones that we did miss.
Then later on we talked all about sports
We could name every player on the field or on the courts,
And we knew all of their statistics
And even their odd characteristics.
Then later on we talked about our fast cars
And how fast we drove underneath the stars,
And the mileage that we then got
Also the times by the police that we were caught.
We then talked about the bars that we've been in
And where we drank the very best gin,
And the times at work that we pulled an all nighter
Also the times that we were a street fighter.
Now when we get together as we did in the past
We tend to forget the things that we once had asked,
Now all we talk about is taxes, politics and making copies
Also also Medicaid, Medicare and colonoscopies.
