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 4-13-19 Free Verse Or Rhyme Contest Photo 2 Sponsor: Eve Roper

I've been told that the curse isn't that we remember those old jokes.....the curse is that we keep re-telling them.....

This is so clever. It reminds me of the old men who all gather together under a big tree here in my town. Whenever you pass by you can see them all laughing and having such a good time.
