Like the Commercials

They give me hugs and we laugh with glee My childhood forever friends The ones I have had for over fifty years. One for sixty-two years actually, since kindergarten. We make an arrangement for a playdate And we run toward each other like the TV commercials. We are linked by memories and experiences Too silly to explain to others Remembered immediately upon sight of each other Childhood friends, the ones you can laugh with And cry with, but laugh with a full open mouth Spittle is funny too!

It is so much fun to see them again. We have all gained weight, and we are grandma-look-alikes and still when we meet we are in third grade or kindergarten again.
