Notes About The Poem

A Brand New Screw

What Don said to Joseph was true
though the brainwashed won't see that view
they will keep the old man
as long as they can
then send in a brand new screw.

Nice poem and to the point. Aging is difficult, but is even harder when the person is pushed beyond his limits. Compassion will be a two fold blessing.

Thank you. Yes, aging is difficult. I'm 66 years old and caring for my 89 year old mother. Happily, she is still alert to what is going on in the world.

I think the old fella is screwed! Joe was a screw-up long before the debate. Nice job!
