What pace, I have had a hot chase Yet I am not done with it all Too short and too many short shrifts To matters major and minor Balance sheet is not yet ready What pace, I have had a hot chase But then I’m not a company In the red, might be as usual I am not a profitable Proposition, I would agree What pace, I have had a hot chase How it all slips through my fingers Nearer to my next birthday I’m Going to feel old on that day In this rabbit and turtle race What pace, I have had a hot chase Note: This is a very old poem of mine written in free verse now adapted to the Quatern form For Dr. Mehta’s contest By: S.Jagathsimhan Nair, nov 27, 11

That's cool how you took it from free verse and adapted it to quatern. I like how it sounds with the repeating line!

As we get older, we can relate more and more to the messag in this poem. A wonderful entry for Dr. Ram's contest, my friend. Wishing you success! Love, Carolyn
