Much to their surprise
Right before their eyes

Not a cat marooned
But bicycles festooned

On all the calls they’ve been
Now everything they’d seen

Gone by the way
Of the
Eight track tape
With compact discs
Soon
To
Follow

A world
Of everything
Satellite
And cellular
Somehow
Leaves me feeling
Hollow

The two they shared a special bond
Each of the other truly fond

Once alone, but now together
Life’s travails able to weather

A disarming smile that

A future force
With which to be
Reckoned

I’ve got a
Secret
With you to
Share
Only because
About you
I
Care

I’ve got a
Secret
With you to

Don’t you
Go blabbing
Don’t you
Dare

Secret
With you to
Share
Holding it
In
I simply can’t
Bear
