day 16 friends Ode to Zoom Buddies
Day 16 Ode to Zoom Buddies



We have been having
A weekly Zoom gab fest
For a number of years now

Everyone is someone
I have known for more
That 50 years to 65 years!
God that makes me
As old as the hills
As they say


Re-united through Zoom
Our weekly chats
Keep me sane
Alive and fills
Me with joy


Best Friend for 65 years

I have known Robert S.
Since the first grade

over 60 years
Sharing life's journeys

Introduced me.
To demon rum
and weed.



Was there when
I dreamt of my wife
In a high school class
.
and there during
My 14 operations
and will be
until the end.

My Memory Bank

Matt and I met
in Latin class
in the 9th grade.

He managed.
In my first election,
as BHS president.

He knows most of my secrets.
and reminds me of my past misdeeds,
Keeping me humble and alive.

Robert C




And I have been friends
Since high school days

Lost touch for a while
Glad to reconnect
We still find each other
Amusing as hell

Mark K


Another high school classmate
Lost touch for a while
Reconnecting feels great

He is a tech guy
And I have learned
A lot from him

Wish I was in touch
with him
When I was doing
a tech support jog
at the State Department

We share the same birthday
But I am one year older
That does not matter
In the grand scheme
Of things

Tony R

Another high school friend
Went separate ways
Reconnecting on Zoom

I find his wry sense
Of humor
Refreshing

Keeps me humble
And down to earth

Pat G

Always the Colonel
Served in the Marines
Met a couple of times
In DC

And at my recent reunion
Glad we are still
Connecting

After all these years

Steve T

I have known him
For years
Since 7th grade

Lost touch for a long time
Recently reconnected
And saw him
At the reunion

Hope I can still meet my zoom buddies
online forr many more years to come
Inshalla as they say
