May 2010
Seems like I was twenty
just the other day
Like ***** said
"Aint It Funny How Time Slips Away"
I've been buried in bones
raking over old stones
Forcein' grunts & groans
from note bending overtones
realing in my mind
for some kind of a marker of time
Pacing the years
And all of the moments so dear
Markers in a haze glancing rear
In a flash I was thirty
Two ex-wives, it was *****
Never a dull moment before fourty
Ever played a Hurdy Gurdy?
Scrap books & scapes of a sojourn
compiled, organized, the page turns
Fifty kicks you in the *****
one no longer walks so tall
Where in H E double Ls
Did the time go?
Note: It's 5.28.10 & I'm still working on my retrospective book, Doc
