Just Like Old Times

Bumped into a friend just yesterday I was driving my car and she got in the way She said nothing was broken the impact was minor Mostly bruises and cuts and a pretty good shiner I took her to breakfast and told her a joke She was laughing so hard she started to choke I gave her the Heimlich and then she was fine While everyone cheered we continued to dine I finished my eggs plus her corned beef hash She picked up the check since I don't carry cash Then we took a ride when I got a flat She changed the tire while watching, I sat We went to the park to her favorite thing where she asked me to push while she rode on the swing But careless was she as she went too high and flew off the seat up into the sky And then she came down right onto a bush full of prickly thorns straight into her tush To the hospital entrance I gave her a lift and away from my car she limped fairly swift But before that she said (if you'll pardon these rhymes) "Whenever we meet it's just like old times" Mike Wise 10-21-19
