How Times …… fly…..
And decades feel yesterday
Yet friendships forged
Seem here to stay…….

How farsight matures
To look behind
&Into memories’ treasures
And what do I find?

A Jimmy, a Paulette,
A Patharphodi in Research
Those sparkling tables
And compounds to search

Those cackles, those giggles
Those lunch promenades
Life couldn’t be merrier
A quenching lemonade ….

That wit, that humour,
That anger, that goofs,
Even if one wanted
One couldn’t remain aloof

The nebulae gravitated
And grew in size when Ava and Daxa
And Rox-Roy kept size

But the time always flew
And everyone really knew,
The friendship stew too
Also continued to brew

How one wishes for a wishful change
To play the game again and again
Hoping few things would probably change
Happily perhaps ….. in the bargain

Few things would never change however
For better …. Or…. for worse,

Three cheers for such friendship dear
For to-day, tomorrow and over years.

Reminiscing good times with friends and raising a toast to friendships
