Another brilliant and sad but funny poem. A couple of the stanza's need some attention to the mitre and rythm. Read it aloud a few times and you will see what I mean. Nothing that can't be easily fixed though. Very cool love Gyp's

A very clever and humorously compassionate look at aging. As one not quite in my dotage, I am not sure I look forward to aging much more! Well-written. All the best, Hugh
