The Watches
THE WATCHES
(For Uncle Bo…)
They both sighed contradictory sighs,
As each neared his watch to his eyes.
Both watches were made of gold;
One was new the other was old.
On the new was inscribed:
To Joe
On his 30th birthday.
On the old was scribbled:
To Bo,
30 yrs faithful service, everyday
