No, they won't.
They simply tell you
to act
your age.
Dang.

A youthful stranger seeking wisdom
Stealing your future pleasures
Fondly remembered
And discarded
Until needed

smile...funny, "they" seem to have no problem with telling me that.

I used to consider myself a fairly good chemist too, but alas, methinks I've finally blown up the lab.

What the hell, I wasn't much of a dancer anyway, but who cared in the 70's/80's, cocaine had us ALL convinced we were...something.

and nod, we WERE. Indeed we were.

shaking my head but grinning here, icebox, you always seem to write my thoughts, Pip is a lovely place with you in it, m'friend.

Who determines excess?

I want to be in charge of that gage..

So very right!
Many think that the piper will never ask for pay,,or that the Devil will ask to borrow a sweater before it happens,,,think about it,,,
Good write

I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike
