Picture This

April 21, 2025 by Bill McNulty

There’s a black and white photo taken long ago.

Looking carefully, it’s someone I used to know.

No shirt, and is he looking so fit and trim

In my younger days, I was just like him.

Can we see a picture of how that body looks today?

A picture that should have stayed hidden in yesterday.

Look again, not one grey hair on that head.

I haven’t been that thin since the day I wed.

No wrinkles, no fat tummy, nice snapshot I see.

If you think he looks good, I will agree that it’s me.

By this time, you realize there is no picture to share.

It seems to have just disappeared into thin air.
