do not forget alphabets.

Posted on by

for the second time

we tried to surprise

a dear friend

to celebrate her milestone birthday

and round two came very close to not happening

when life circumstances intervened

just a few hours before.

 we quickly began planning

what our third attempt would look like

when she turned the tables

and surprised all of us

by showing up

at the appointed hour.

“new friends may be poems but old friends are alphabets.

do not forget alphabets, because you will need them to read the poems.”

*author: not shakespeare

*this is another one of those quotes that seems to have come up someplace and wandered around a bit until someone put “shakespeare once said…” in front of it and it stuck.

  14. I don’t know if you’ve seen “Upstart Crow” but the Shakespeare in the program is always claiming to have come up with a saying and someone is always saying, “No, I think it was…” and then proves it. It’s a really funny program. Only 3 seasons, sadly…
