Like the nursery rhymes we once knew

that are so long faded

I still remember thoughs rhymes

and I'd never forget you.

So I write a sad nursery rhyme

but not of cats and fiddles.

Not to gooses nor sheep

but of us when we were little.

I write of times when our friendship was true

not of cows and the moon.

Though I wish I could write of happy times

they have so long faded.

Like the nursery rhymes we once knew

you have so long faded
