Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Sidesplitters

Two old timers sharing a good laugh
 While reminiscing on yesterdays
 As they split old stories in half
 Some stories are blurred and remain in the grays

 You may find them on the park bench no matter the clime
 Exchanging stories and sharing a laugh
 Repeating the same ones from time to time
 And splitting old jokes in half
