FRIENDLY ADICE
Marvin Hass
Buena Vista, Colo
I notice as the years count up
my friends ain’t near as tidy.
Syrup’s hardened on their scruffy chins
where they forgot to lick last Friday
If you’re wondering what they had for lunch
…say a day or two ago.
It’s all right there in front of them
For the world to see and know.
Course when you dare to point it out
In a kindly caring way,
Concern from one friend to another
They will question what you say.
They’ll fiddle with their eye glasses
Adjusting for a peek.
“I don’t see what yer talking about
There’s nothing wrong with me.”
It happens to the best of us
Ain’t pointing fingers so to speak
Believe I see a sign er two
Of what I ate last week
Now when yer wife yells in your ear
Or points to yer second chin
Nod your head, wipe your face
And give a toothy grin.
