Irritating Like a Tsetse Fly

She tried to outguess me. Thought she knew me.
She was an irritant like a tsetse fly.
I ran from her.
Glad I only see her every five years.
Finally realized I am not obligated to attend class reunions.
With a roomful of people I do not recognize
And have nothing in common with except for former locale.

Run, Caren, run. I know this feeling. Of course, there aren't enough of my class left to have a reunion. The two of us just exchange an e-mail now and then. Simple.
