The Drill

from early on
life's pace is going gone

then we begin to slow
and become of old face

while others take the baton
and keep the social pace

Such an eloquent verse on the fluctuating rhythms of life, I am getting to the point of relinquishing the baton-

You are certainly correct, I used to think I had to have a social function every week, then every two weeks, not about once every other month satisfies me completely.
