Were I to say that this was purely fiction - t'would be a lie! Oh - I did finally see her during my 30-day Leave, around Christmas of '60 - but my begging and pleading were to no avail. About 23 years later, at my Uncle's funeral, I saw her - DAMN, she still looked good! An old Glow of an Ember STIRRED within! She was a neighbor to him - Small World, huh? A Hug and a Kiss, and an Introduction to my WIFE was just a tad awkward. Especially after I realized that my Second Love could very well have been a -- CARBON COPY! Did THEY Notice, I wonder? Now, 48 years later, and Divorced - I occasionally cruise her neighborhood - hoping she's available, and FREE ALSO! SAD - TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES!

Once Upon A Time © - Tom Hyland - 9-22-08 A Lad of Eighteen was I - And She Just - Sweet Sixteen, She Slipped into Something Comfortable - My God, her Thighs were Keen! While I was Hesitant and Awkward, She Knew Just What to Do - A Little Gal did Seduce Me - Her Name - my Sweet, Sweet Sue! Once Upon a Mattress, My Cherry I did Lose - Well, Actually - T’was a Sofa! That She Herself did Choose! Once Upon a Sofa, It was Really Quite Sublime - We Kissed, and Hugged, and Did It - Once Upon a Time, Yes, this was my First Love, My First Intimate One - I Doted Over, and Adored Her - My Venus, my Goddess, my Sun! Oh, We Went Steady, And Endeavored further Pleasures - Well Over a Year - Infatuated and Satiated - I Enjoyed her Treasures! Fearing the Dreaded Draft Board - In ’60 - Times were Tough, I Joined The Army Reserves - And Basic Training was Really Rough! Way down in Fort Knox, Kentucky - T’was where I got the News, That “Dear John” Letter Came - And Gave me those G.I. Blues! No Leave, No Furlough - No Chance to Even Call - I was Mortified and Crushed, Not Unlike “Adam’s Fall!” Once Upon a Time - My True Love was Lost - Many Unanswered Letters, And Sleepless Nights were Tossed! That Un-Purchased Engagement Ring - That T’was my Big Mistake - I was Young, Dumb, and Stupid, And Thus, Befell my Fate! Once Upon a Sofa - She and I did Climb - Yes, Ecstasy was Enjoyed Once - Once Upon a Time! © - TKH

So, was she alone at the funeral?
Why don't you just call her?
Love'd the poem...I bet she would too.
