A Tradition Yet Digital

When Rome ruled the world,power was king,
A freedman proudly unveiled his iron ring;

In later years of olde,
The forefinger,the preference of the bold;

The middle by the prudent and discrete
Such dignity now appears polite & so effete;

A loop upon the littlest,show a masterful mind,
The circlet on the third,one of a different kind;

Love& affection,wed as one,to bind & then remind
