Old Long Since

Take everything you gathered from

Fate chance coincidence

And play a song with gentle strum

About the old long since.

Should we rehearse this ancient tune

That ends where it begins

We’ll join them all it’s certain soon

Who loved us old long since.

The nights extend, the swallows flee

The leaves are dropping hints

Of seasons and mortality

Repeated old long since.

We’ve gone our separate ways it seems

There is no permanence

We dreamt reciprocating dreams

In slumbers old long since.

Should we hear chimes three score and ten

We never will convince

The fates to bless us once again

As they did old long since.

So raise a cup of kindness friends

For some rememberance

Here’s wishing we could make amends

For errors old long since.

Though old acquaintance we forget

And never bring to mind

We’ll drink a cup of kindness yet

For sake of auld lang syne.

Apologies to Bobby B

The one true Scotsman here

Please disregard this travesty

We’ll try again next year.
