Cheese And Rice

                Cheese And Rice

They say 'Elephants and water never forget'
If only people could be the very same way
although sometimes it seems, as if we actually are
the people we haven't seen for many years and the ones
we only seldom see- how can we be sure they're real
when we see them? couldn't they be a memory?


“We don't have very much time to love' regardless of gloves
But that is something which we're supposed to do especially
if we have some glue- it's not written anywhere that we have
to stop at times of either virus or flu


Not to stray but could we have something other than stew?
Nearly any other kind of brew would suffice as would cheese and rice
provided the mice left us some- they're not exactly chums
