Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

His Cap Bore a Plume

Quaintly dressed, his cap bore a plume
   When a lady passed, removed it -- assumed
She'd acknowledge his gracious act
   ~ So shocked was he at her absence of tact

"Don't think I'm the weaker sex," snapped she
   "Else I'll give you a kick to buckle your knees"
Wounded, he offered an unheard apology
   Then walked across time to a kinder century

Michelle Faulkner February 10, 2020 at 12:33 PM Amazing last line, Gershon, it is too bad good manners seem to be going extinct! Gershon Wolf February 10, 2020 at 4:05 PM Do you think the next generation will even hear of 'manners?!' How quaint! A good reason to move on... :) Gershon

Evelyn Judy Buehler February 8, 2020 at 11:24 PM I relished this fun rhyme, Gershon. I loved the last line. Lucky for him he could time travel! Best wishes :) Gershon Wolf February 9, 2020 at 2:05 PM You're so right about him being lucky to be a time traveler. Then again, where's he going? What century was 'kind?" Certainly not the 20th! He may have long trip!! Here's to kindness and caring, Gershon

Alexis Y. February 8, 2020 at 11:00 PM Hi Gershon, I really enjoyed this write. Great last line” Then walked across time to a kinder century “ :-) Alexis Gershon Wolf February 9, 2020 at 2:03 PM You know, I myself may just walk across the line to a kinder century, except I 'd have to find one first. Reviewing the horrors of the past few centuries, I just might have to take a supersonic jet to get there! Thanks for the encouragement, Alexis! Best wishes, Gershon
