Ha! Please take down
The eyesore
You've mounted atop your head.
You wonder why

words of wisdom
wisdom teeth

And it is the ravens who keep score

In their eyes the skeletal shape
Of the Grim Reaper who haunts the cape

Brave though the men were
The line between life and death...

Adulthood

A big “Mazel Tov” to the bride and groom
Blushing and sweating, each smiling face
Loud, hearty cheers go up across the room
Here’s two new contestants for life’s big race!

A union in fate’s journey together
There will always...
