Sotto Poet Poet Clerihew

Notes About The Poem

Milton Glasses

L Milton Hankins has remained the same.
However, the jasmine blooms withered over time.
He searched for his glasses, but where did they hide?
He looked everywhere, but he neglected to check on his head.

Note:

Heartful gratitude goes out to our good friend and poet L.M. Hankins; he has done so much for us and his wonderful character.

L Milton Hankins June 29, 2021 at 8:31 PM Wow! I'm astounded, Lasaad. Thank you so much for this interesting look at my forgetfulness...(chuckle). I have yet to lose my glasses, but I have misplaced my hearing aids! Sotto Poet June 29, 2021 at 8:41 PM You're very welcome, my dear friend, and I'm delighted that you like it. You deserve a lot of praise, not only for being a brilliant poet but also for your excellent analysis, integrity, and delightful attitude. You've given me another more hint that I should do something about your hearing aid. Best wishes and happiness
