To the G-Man – Friday Flash 55
Re Tempus Fu(Mr.G)it- (It’s Latin, so it’s okay!)
Why does time have to march
even in March?
Why can’t we keep the spring
Springs?
Our hips stay
hip? Our black clothing only
mean coolness?
Our wrinkles lipsynch
how oooh we are laid-back,
our lovehandles
that we
are love-
handled?
And why, oh why,
are our poems not everlastingly
kick-ass?
*********************
55 for the G-Man! This is his second-to-last week of hosting Friday Flash 55. He’s had a long and honorable run and needs to concentrate on his Harley–best to him always.
PS – the photo is outside a plane window. Yes, I know planes don’t march! But they do something else that time does — fly!

One door shuts, another door opens.
You might be sad now, but in a month, I’ll just be a distant memory!
Just teasing, I’ll still be around, just not hosting…:-)
Loved your Tempus 55
Thanks for playing, thanks for your wonderful support
Have a Kick Ass Week End

Very smart and apropos–at least for me! And kickass to boot (in a manner of speaking)…forgive the brevity…I’m using my phone.

Why indeed? But Harleys must take precedence, so I guess we’ll muddle through.
