Upon Running into a Former Best Friend
Don’t give me cause to regret our reunion.
Don’t bring back to mind our former disunion.
Don’t lament my profession or cuss at my kids—
those actions that once put us into the skids—
dissolving our friendship and our former ties
when I’d had enough of your conniving lies.
Don’t inveigle or bemoan your lack of a pension.
Past times I’ve come through I won’t bother to mention.
And if you’ve a reaction and want to explode,
do me a favor. Take it on the road!!!
Prompt words today are inveigle, lament, reunion, cussed and reaction.
This one is uncomfortably accurate. Sooner or later we run into that alienated former friend and wonder if it will be a civil meeting or a rehash of old grievances.
