A great read Tom, can't cheat the reaper so to speak.

Excellent sonnet, Tom. A sobering reminder of life's inevitabilities.

Why do you feel the need to disclaim it as "atypical"? You seem to have one too many beats in L5, but that's probably unmeant, and is easily fixed by replacing "mercy or" with some single syllable word (maybe "fine").

Am I right in understanding "digit" in L8 as referring both to interest rates and the need to check one's digits after shaking hands with a finance provider (or with Old Father Time, for that matter)? Clever pun!

Tom, Here's my response to Terry on my thread. It pertains to how much space you take on the board.

Merc,

re: Tom pushing people off. I figure he's old enough to be able to know that he is doing that and that it is not fair to all those who only post once in a while. I guess, Terry, that your mentioning to me is sufficient to motivate me to say something to him. As an anarchist, I'm sure you know how much I hate being anyone else's cop or daddy or conscience, but I will take on the task.

Thanks for stopping by to read the poem.

amo,

Peter
