We've all heard about Policemen becoming younger! Here's variation!
KNOWING THE DRILL!
I lay there in the dentist's chair
Looking up into his face.
It was, somehow, quite familiar,
But one I couldn't place.
He was well-past middle-age,
Bespectacled, grey haired,
A little bald, a little plump……
On and on I stared.
So intrigued was I by him
That I scarcely felt the drill.
And when the work was done I found
I scrutinised him still.
His mask was off and so I saw
His wrinkles and his lines;
He had a few whiskers in his ears,
One of males' aging signs.

Whom did I know of such an age?
Where could we two have met?
Was he an old friend's husband
I'd happened to forget?
'I think we know each other'
I finally blurted out.
' Oh yes! We know each other', he said
'Without a doubt.
Don't you remember me from school?'
And I replied 'Ah yes!
We must have taught together
I asked him why he changed careers…….
A moment seemed to pass.
Then he said 'I'm Billy Brown;
I was in your class!'

ahaha!
LOL! I ran in to a former classmate (literally) at a gas station door. I recognized him with much joy and commented that one of the things about him which always sttod out in my mind were his impeccable manners. I meant that as a compliment because he was taking responsibility for my haste and inattention. Instead, he looked quite embarrassed and reached up slowly and took off his hat (in the presence of a lady) and revealed a shiny bald head.
For one in my life I remained calm and composed and did not manage to reveal my surprise. I just kept right on asking about his parents as if I didn't notice his head full of wavy brown hair had gone awol.
Its so obvious.
You've not changed much from then - hence Billy recognised you..!!!
