Those That Passed Away Poem by RIC BASTASA

Ricardo was the biggest guy in the class.
He was too tall for Grade Six.
Roberto was the smallest but too smart.
Ricardo, the silent guy
and Roberto the noisiest,
all of them the spices
of those years in elementary grade.

In an updat of people for the class reunion in 2010,
it is sad to know,
both of them passed away that too early

Ricardo had STD, Roberto had hepatitis.
One had too much sex, the other had too much drink.
