for years and years, by skype and screen
a friendship did maintain its sheen
’til reunion found its time
out in california climes
telling stories, counting rings
catching up on all the things
re-exploring classic texts
taking up arboreal nests
celebrating impish moods
eating lots of tasty foods
from way, way back in new orleans
a friendship has maintained its sheen.
