Irony of Life

Irony of life

Irony of life

They were classmates from young

With characters bordering on yin and yang

Tom excelled in his studies

Vince fooled around with his buddies.

 

Tom was always careful with his money

Vince was a spendthrift as his vices were many

Everyone thought success in life for Tom was a no-brainer

Vince had no second thoughts about cutting corners.

 

Tom left their small town for university

Vince was lured by the bright lights of a faraway city

They lost touch for almost three decades

Each going about their lives and maintaining their own facades.

 

They met again at a convention

A seminar for members of an international multi-level marketing corporation

Tom was a paying member

Vince was the keynote speaker.
