Three single men

smoked weed

and drank beer

and went for a walk

over the wheelchair friendly bridge

Only it wasn’t that friendly

Conversation flowed faster than the river Irwell

Politics, science, and the meaning of life Football stadium capacities

Like a game of Top Trumps

Their routine

their comfort blanket

Friendships cemented

Love

mostly unsaid

Fast forward 18 years

Where are our friends now?

Lying in the arms of their women

Resting under another comfort blanket

But their man bonded love

Stays strong
