Can you present the best case?
Does the result matter?
Or are you merely going on
record
To make it known you cared?
Fred would change his schedule
to be there,
Because being there was
important to him.
Jerry was not immune to
friendship
And missing a Tuesday lunch
would be a loss.
Consider: they had traveled to
the place of free desserts,
Like the gambler who gets comp
accommodations
By virtue of time spent on
location.
Our heroes had paid their dues.
Lunch was an hour devoted to
women and baseball,
Or so the billing said.
Camaraderie dictated the cover,
But sometimes a truth might
flow, only slightly abridged.
Friendly conversations between
Fred, Jerry and Ray
Occasionally morphs into
thoughts less varnished.
From the safety of a sympathetic
home team performance
Into a statement of belief or
regret.
