Sotto Poet August 24, 2021 at 12:47 PM Very well stated and written, Milton, and I feel the last three words (sobering, unamusing, purposing) apply well as we age. Good luck with the contest. L Milton Hankins August 24, 2021 at 1:46 PM Thank you so much, Lasaad. They do, indeed.

Tom Cunningham August 24, 2021 at 10:23 AM Well written Milton, I think as we get older the last three lines apply more. Tom L Milton Hankins August 24, 2021 at 11:58 AM I'd say so, Tom. Definitely!
