Reliving The old days.

Two old men coming out of the local pub

both are drunk and arguing.

Staggering all over the place

And trying to punch each other

with missed punch swings at each other.

One falls on his a*s.

And the other helps him up.

They start again swinging arms

at each other.

Then give up.

And stagger away walking arm in arm

down the road together

chatting and laughing and having a

blast.

I chuckled and thought how strange.

Later on in another day.

I came across the owner of the pub.

Who told me they were great local heroes

in their heyday and top champs.

And used to compete against each

other on a regular basis when young.

And even to this very day.

They are great mates

and relive the old days.

Yes I like this dawn a good poem about two old men who remained friends for life

[BlackPrince]

This poem is truthful and nostalgic; yet slightly melancholic when thinking how the new age, with its emphasis on materialism, has affected the simplicity and affectionate nature of friendship.
But, of course, hope is not lost. Simply be the friend you'd like to see in others.

Nice one friend. Fun and interesting to read at the same time. Great :)

I could picture this Dawn and it had me smiling. Buddies through thick and thin. Doing it their way.

funny stuff alright.
There was an incident in a nursing home a short while ago with two elderly ladies, 68 yr. and 78yr. in a punchup at a rest home over seats at a bingo game.
Police had to be called!
All-time clazy
Good to hear kitty won't be hanging from some trophy wall.

and being able to laugh at themselves and each other is the best drink out of all of it...the camaraderie
even as foes...healthy...we need more of it...
