Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Pleasure's No Treasure

	     Why do I move swiftly on
                 from ‘Eureka’ moments
              Can I not stop to celebrate
                 Why not savor them

              The motor keeps running
                 momentum must be maintained
              Pleasure's no treasure
                  leaning back ~ a heart attack
