Fossilized

There are things in this sphere
that are painfully clear.
My memory has fled
bottom's like lead.
Alas, old age is here.

Just what the Doctor didn't order and had no say about, but if you mix with right people it won't be too obvious if you are all oblivious. Nice compact write, that says it all. Will test out you attention span on some of your other gems. Regards David in NZ

Hi, Jan. I'm afraid my limerick lacks "punch," but it does manage to state a universal truth, as you affirm. Agatha Christie said: "An archeologist [makes] the best husband. The older she gets, the more interested he is in her." Hugs
