Sandbox Dreams Remember the days Of sandbox dreams? Reality it was Or so it seemed. Smiling faces. Oblivious to time. Each day an adventure With a treasure to find. Flying kites in the park. Sandcastles at the beach. Nothing unaccomplished. No goals out of reach. We ' d captured our world. We thought all tales were told. But as kids we were unaware We ' d have to grow old. Jennifer Wiley I Love to rriendship After the love has ended. Our memories tucked in a drawer, Why do you seem to act as though We ' ve never met before? We were so close some years ago But now were far apart. I ' ve gotten over my love for you But how we ignore each other breaks my heart. Why can ' t ex-loves become close friends? To be there through good times and bad? I wish we could have been like that After everything we had. Well, I guess now I ' ve tried everything. There ' s nothing more I can do. If you ever decide you need a friend, I ' m STILL waiting here for you. Julie Alfenito for Tom Mo 171

Can ' t Take It With You, II (With apologies to Kaufman 8f Hart) Meridith, fifteen, sings opera, bakes bread. And remembers by heart everything that she ' s read. She can do anything, as her mother once said In the house on Chdey Lane. Colleen, seventeen, has little time or concern Tor dusting or vacuuming when it ' s her turn. But she ' s the smartest and is always the quickest to learn In the house on Clidey Lane. Rigley, ninteen, has invented something new- And just last week he perfected the kazoo- But meanwhile he ' s working on Super-Stick-Glue In the house on Clidey Lane. Jefferson, twenty-four, is a business man Who does for his siblings the best that he can But he ' s fallen in love and is embarrassed by the clan In the house on Clidey Lane. Jefferson ' s girl is as rich as can be And her father is dubious: he just cannot see How the Therancleave family could live with such glee In the house on Clidey Lane. Their parents live in Tahiti, and what ' s more Is that the people are even stranger next door. And the huge, musty rooms are cluttered galore In the house on Clidey Lane. Oh, Daddyl Jefferson ' s girl did cry, Can ' t you see that those are all good reasons why My dear love needs such a woman as I In the house on Clidey Lane? Although the Therancleave household, so oddly presented. Was still just a bit by her father resented. He understood her feeling and eventually relented To the house on Clidey Lane. Jennifer Quinton :-. ' ? ; ; ' •.;-V r£ So Long Will you remember me after we are through? Think of all the times we ' ve been together and all the things We ' ve done So long ago. It hurts to accept that it will all be over so soon, After it ' s taken so long . . . So long to find each other. So long to build our love. Will you remember me After our time has passed? Or will I be just another face in the yearbook- Remembered as just one of your friends? If this is what I will have to face. Then I must say-So long. Jill Witzman 170
