Four Score and One My song has sung four score and one And still it sings and is not done. It vibrates thru the valleys green And of late somewhere between I’ve taken to a way of thought To fantasies that I have caught To lay them in my treasure trove That keeps me warm just like a stove. A magic carpet takes me there A sleeper’s flight of mind and care Takes me but a moments memo And presto I have a demo. It is a form of catnaps heir Twenty minutes and most are fair It is a harmless pass of time Pleasant spells for me that chime. To all who see my head in bend? Wake me not; it’s not the end. |

Dear Sy ... if some of your ideas for these wonderful poems come to you as you briefly bend your head ... then bend as often as you like, and rise quickly, to write them down. Such treasures they are.  Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

Sy, Age seems to have offered you many benefits. Including good looks, excellent humor and a positive attitude, not to mention wisdom. You are an inspiration. You, sir, have my utmost admiration. Well done. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Mr. T.--you fill me with glee! You're not really four score and one---are you?!? In your photo you only look four score and ten! Doesn't matter to me if you're 5 score plus 10---you're younger in spirit and mind than many men who are only 2 score and one! Luvya Mr. T.! EA |
