Pat Adams Poet Quatrain

How Old Are You

Eight year old twins played in the yard
With a long stick in hand, one said,
"This stick here will now be my cane"
Agreeing, the other nodded his head

Then he said, "I'm an old old man!"
When he was asked,"How old are you?"
Walking bent over with his cane
He thought and said, "I'm twenty two !"

Pat Adams August 8, 2017 at 7:25 AM Judy, my wife, was the one that had the presence of mind to ask, "How old are you?" Those boys are graduating high school this year! Hard to believe. Thanks for the comment Dale!! rPAT
