She throws
Back her hair
On which
Despite the years
Her fortunes rest

While I smile
With hidden joy
Being no more
Than second best

I thought the first verse could stand alone here, because the second just confused me...

I know you don't like to explain stuff, but if you could, would help me out?

(The times that you did explain truly helped me to appreciate the quality, I promise you.)

?

With my apologies, too. I'm one of those people who stand in front of 3-D magic images, foreeeeeeeeeeeever...saying,

"I just don't see it."

Really SB . . .


A gold digger who's 22
or 25 passing you by
may cause disappointment

At 47
there’s a very lucky sense
of having missed the bullet

Thanks for reading


John

loved it for itself and then I read your explanation...could not stop laughing (is it permissible to laugh at that which is totally un-PC?)

LIked it (with explanation also) very much.  It's always good to miss a bullet, especially good when it's and expensive one!
