Yet another tragic love affair Began with a notably dignified air. Amorous friends, I've made a few Romantic tales painted grey-blue Each one told avec savoir-faire!
Years have passed since puberty All friends look to lose their liberty Nuptial news float through my little town Match-makers all too many abound Anxious matriarchs swap ideas at the Rotary.
Winters are cool in this tropical place Perfect setting for all that wedding lace At dusk the elders gather for a collective swig They feast, they sing, dance an inelegant jig As the newly-weds swing to a different pace.
I share in their joys virtually Slouching by a 17" screen As the celebrations wind down And seeds of future dreams are sown I settle into a fleeting melancholy.
Life goes on for each new couple made Soon out of touch with the class of '98 Is that the outlook? Not a single pal off the hook? From youthfulness to an aged jade?
In a corner all sulky and blue Surfing sitcoms where friends are true A gentle arm reaches out Cuddles me as I pout - Just one of those doldrums he often sees me through.
