The Steele Deal

I have just returned 

from visiting an old friend 

It was great to see him 

Once again 

Another friend and I 

And our two wives 

Traveled to visit Ron 

Who in Michigan resides 

He moved there in April 

Three months ago 

Many people miss him 

We want him to know 

We talked and we bowled 

And then we bowled some more 

Just as we had always done 

Four months before 

It was great to see him 

We miss him so 

But all we really want 

Is for his happiness to grow 

The trip wasn’t too long 

But about long enough 

Not too much construction 

To make us feel gruff 

We talked about the time 

And how we all met 

How good it has been 

And how strong it is yet 

We all look forward 

To when we will again see Ron 

The time moves so fast 

Where has the time gone 

We will set a date 

And schedule it in 

Soon we will tell you 

Where and when
