Lorded By Rings

Seventy-nine and counting now: I’ve got a little streak continuing to close my rings; obsession’s not yet peaked. My wife says that I am possessed by My Precious new watch, that I’ve surpassed that Smeagol lad, taken it up a notch. But it’s no worse than poetry; in fact, they’re both a win: the one keeps dementia at bay, the other keeps me thin.
