You Haven'T Changed a Bit
Listen to poem:
It’s really not a compliment, as far as I’m concerned, when someone whom you’ve known for many years - but haven’t seen
Since graduating high school - and apparently’s forgotten exactly what you looked like at the age of...seventeen,
Scurries up and comments - at your 50th class reunion, “Time has sure been good to you, you haven’t changed a bit!”...
‘Cause I was good at several sports and - as you may remember - always working out to keep my body lean and fit.
Soooooooooo....having gained a lot of weight - and lost a lot of hair...when someone who’s been “lucky” - from our graduating class -
Has the gall to tell me that today I...look the same...
Well…that obnoxious, heartless sack o’ poop can kiss my - butt!!!
PS: I've now got 4 new Audio-CDs - @ 4 1/2 hours each = (62 diversely varied pieces). They’re listed on EBAY - under - “Mark Stellinga Poetry” - or available by simply contacting me at -- mark@writerofbooks.com -- should those of you who enjoy listening to poems as well as reading them - and particularly those of you that travel - care to be so entertained. (We use safe and simple - PayPal) There are a bunch of my pieces on YouTube as well ---
Cheers,
Mark
