Things I Miss

Things I Miss

written the summer of '18

I miss drum majoring

Yale and fencing.

I miss the point

But not pains in the joint.

I miss the eye 

When I thread the needle

I miss Dad's hair

But not his speed-o!

I miss the mark

Miss tag in the dark

I miss Lil' and Drew

Miss Isaa-boo.

I miss the target

With my bow.

Miss all those things

I used to know.

Songs I sang.

My teenage slang.

Calculus proofs.

Countless lost books.

I missed my appointment

With the dentist too.

I don't miss potty training

Pee and poo.

I missed the pun.

I miss no fun.

I missed my vote.

I missed the joke.

I miss my friends

Of days gone by.

I missed the ball

Hit way up high.

I missed the punch.

And sometime lunch.

I missed the boat.

I missed the note.

And this last time

As my poem is through

I missed the word 

To make it rhyme for...

anyone listening.
