Won'T Write About Age Any Further

Okay I promise not to write about age again Seems I've beaten the subject to “death” There's that word again it keeps cropping up It will stop creeping up before you know it though And I will find it quite difficult to breathe I won't be aware then the lights go out And then nothing... So what will I call this state of being A transitional state on my way to the top floor

Jack stick around on the mezzanine floor and there you must stop. Your poems are far too enjoyed for you to go to the top. Another beauty from you mate, your poems despite the reference to "old age" (which is biting at my heels) are always enjoyed.

(chuckling) nothing wrong with writing about what you know, Jack. I do it all the time. I'm delighted I made it to this age, so I want to talk about it. I love your poems that mention your age.
