I saw you yesterday,

though I doubt you noticed,

you were in a fountain

or was it a toilet...

I remembered us then...

me, oceanography,

you,  nuclear politician,

those were the days, weren't they...

my exoskeleton?

it softened just a bit,

looking at your pompadour

being taken back to ...

Then it hit me, square on,

the way we left it, us...

what a dung beetle !!

I ought to thank you...

NAH...stay in your fountain !

LOL.. The things we think of , I mean REALLY !!!
YOUR TURN
ENJOY
