Judy, so deep and true, sadly many old people do not even have their names in the newspaper just quietly buried. That is why we must live for today. Wonderful poem and thanks for my wonderful placement in your ritz contest , I am so honored. ..

A 3 line acrostic with enough ingredients to make a 'black comedy' offering, Judy! We're all heading in the same direction, though we try not to admit it! The end line is great, especially with regards to those aspiring to become famous! // paul
