Notes About The Poem

Just a rem'nder that the letter 'eye' has van'shed from my keyboard...

F'Nal Curta'N

When the past's more v'v'd than the here-and-now
  Depart the stage w'th a curtsy or a bow

Let youth perform and garner the applause
  You opt out w'th a grandfather clause

Smartly penned. Have you ever thought maybe the "I" is something your keyboard never really needed? Ha!
