Two, side-by-side,
the left one, hollow.
Disease 'pon limb--
death sure to follow.

The right one, strong,
Healthy and tall.
Lightning strikes.
The mighty, falls.

Sometimes you never know what's going to happen...at first I thought this was you and me..and then I realized that one of us would have been struck with lightening and I changed my view quick!!!

I dodge lightening bolts for a living!

I can relate to this for personal reasons, the poem really moved me.

It's nice to share - kiss someone when you have a cold.
