How Things Go

The more we age The less we know About the world; That’s how things go. Of course we’re up On history. The present, though’s A mystery. As for the future, This is true: Both young and old Don’t have a clue.

Yes, I agree – with this exception. There's just too much out there to grasp and digest! I worked with computors for 40 years; the early years were easy. Into my 60s the changes were so many I couldn't keep up, no more room in my head, so-to-speak. So I retired early. Thanks, Ilene, for the compliment. If my humor cracks you up, then I'm doing something right. / M

My favorite saying for myself is "The older I grow, the less I know." Is that our wisdom? LOLOLOL
