Me and Glen Fernandez were out for some tea
We came back wearing cross-stitch stars.
Me and Keith D'Souza were out for some rum
We chatted up pixies with Milky Bars.
Me and James Peters were out for some cola
We chased our dreams in wind-whipped cars.

An old, frayed picture tells me that Glen Fernandez, Keith D'Souza and James Peters were classmates with my father in class 9 and 10, back in 1977. I don't know them at all. But after seeing their class picture, I wonder what they were like.

S, this poem, particularly the names, reminds me of the Beatles somehow. And when you come over I'll show you the photo, they even look like them!
ReplyDeleteRohan, your comment makes me wonder how it would be if we could switch to a black and white world at will..
