Turning Pages

Naiveté in younger years And meager sense between my ears What interested me the most Were comic strips within the Post. “Deep in Bengalla Woods within the famed Skull Cave The masked Phantom waits...” Throughout advancing teenage years My interest turned to social spheres Again the Post is what I read To see the people who were wed. “Maryann Fulmer And Nolan Zane Fullerton Were married March 3rd….” Turning the pages to sixty I sport a silver-white goatee. I still read the Post but only Familiar obituaries. “Nolan Fullerton Of Whitehall, Pennsylvania Passed away Monday…” I keep turning the pages daily Until the death bell tolls for me.
