High School Reunion

I decided to attend my high school reunion. I haven't been to one of them in a very long time, but I was soon reminded why shortly after arriving.

A guy, who I run into every so often and whom I have known since we were 9 years old, sat down next to me and, with a heavy tongue, started reminiscing about playing baseball in the school yard and in Little League, bringing up particular games, which I did not recall, and pointing out his feats of prowess on the Little League diamond nearly a half century ago.

Yeah, that's just what I yearned to talk about ...

Then, after checking in with a few people, I was stopped by a guy who I haven't seen since high school, who pointed out that we were teammates in Little League.

I left.

Smart lad to slip betimes away
from fields where glory does not stay.

I should've added...

unless glory has been staying too long
at the no host bar.
