The Last One

A pale man lay in an old peoples' home, And told his story to a nurse's aid. From time to time his mind did seem to roam - She was understanding and so she stayed. He told of the gifts that he was given - He was handsome and strong and well spoken And ambitious enough to be driven. Unlikely that his heart could be broken. Things came easy , even the wedding bell. He worshiped her more than any man should. Then one day she dropped her ring in the well, And left with a man as only she could. "Ah," said he. "It was my last easy day." "It was the last one," was all he could say. 11-24-20 Contest: It Was The Last One Sponsor: Anthony Biaanco
