Ars Longa -- Vita Brevis

Living musicians compose
      
     Dead musicians decompose



    The title is Latin for:
   'Art is long; life is short'

I guess it's hard to argue with the living-dead dynamic here. (A smile perhaps here)… I'm trying to keep my COMPOSure. Thanks for the encouragement, as always. Best wishes, gw

Whoa, Caren! Your horses must be 'some kind of special.' They're thinking!! Then again, you are the mastermind-brain-controller, aren't you? (Laugh softly). Just curious: Any of your horses named 'Ed?' Now maybe LOL.. Thank you so much for the support on this Ogden-Nash style ditty. Appreciated. Best always, Gershon
