Confidential Poem by bobby beddoe

.
Hey lady, will you for me something do?

It’s encrypted here especially for you.

Been back home to SB,

For old friends there to see?

No? Well, bet your mom thinks you’re overdue!



Have you heard from the one down there I love?

The one only you grasps whom I speak of,

The pretty girl I did woo

From your class of ’62;

She, who is endowed by God up above!



I thought that during your half-century reunion

Next year, perhaps me to her you might mention;

I won’t that meet attend,

So on you I depend.

For fear I yield to some maudlin emotion!



Tho, she and I have loved (since) way back then

Those unions spawned her two, and my three, children.

Death took away

From me one day

My missus. And left my heart heavyladen!



Anyway, next time you two make connection,

I know in advance – and here’s my prediction:

I’ll love that girl always

For the rest of my days,

Tho, I know she’ll not make the same confession!
