Time Passing -- A Miscellany of Poems; ©Thor May 1996     index

 

              WHATEVER IT WAS

 

He said it well,

Whatever it was,

But I cannot now be sure

That he knew himself

Whatever it was,

For the season's passed

And last year's choicest cut

Has baggy knees and a pot belly.

But hey, whatever it was,

Who wants to know

A middle-aged poem

Anyway.
