Days of Ore

When my parts are no longer my sum
    When I come undone
    I will be iron as blood no more

    Rust in peace

I once read: The body is like a machine - the more it works, the better it sounds. The more it rests, the more it rusts. Well-done Iron Lady. Wait, that was Margaret Thatcher ... shalom shalOM MO
