The poem's brevity is one of its strengths. It doesn't overstay its welcome, but rather delivers its message with concise and impactful language. The simple rhyme scheme and consistent rhythm contribute to the poem's overall sense of energy and momentum. It’s a short, sharp burst of poetic self-affirmation, and it achieves its aim effectively. It's a fun and spirited piece.

Thanks for your heartfelt comment, Jan. Wouldn’t it be great if we could write poetry forever? I don’t know if you knew it or not, but under our “Member Home, Premium Member Links, for Lifetime Members it states “Your Premium Membership Expires: Friday, December 31, 9999.” I wonder what we’ll be doing then? ;-)
