Some of my best friends
Are out of reach
Gone into the past
Or far away
With my arms I can’t
Embrace them anymore
About the Author
Leendert van Gemeren
This is me, Leendert. I am a little bit old-fashioned and I love things from the past, old series like All Creatures Great And Small and On The Buses, mechanical wristwatches, bi-focal glasses, the old Pub Clock in the living room and vinyl records on my Garrard record player for example. I like shiny rings, bracelets and necklaces. Eccentric. You can often find me in the kitchen at parties.
