MY MISTAKE!!

MY MISTAKE!!

I went looking for you on Facebook,
after all these years!!

And, there you are--
the picture doesn't look
quite right, but I figured time
has not quite been your friend, what with
your hard living and all!.

Your city is a little off, too--
last time I talked to your mom
you were on the other coast!

Never mind all that; You were my first
love, my nemesis in high school! I
can't believe we were so young and dumb.
You did love me, didn't you??
What's that you say--what do you mean
you're not the right guy!!
Oh. My mistake!!!
I thought you were a chef--and
you say you're an accountant--
never lived in my home-town!
Would I like to MEET??
I don't think so--I married my
college sweetheart!
