Bandit of Youth

Bandit of Youth

Stolen from an 
unknowing crusade
to enlightenment,

turned to a wheel of
carefully cured cheddar
advanced age seems sudden.

Your three-line compositions are unique... there are always at least two lines that stick in my mind long after the reading. I am envious... you have a style all your own! Best wishes, Keith
