Fun with da Vinci

Fun with da Vinci

1452-1519

(his words in italics)

[y]ou are only as old as

[are] your arteries … 

and perhaps you are most trim

when wanting excess calories …

and in your bettermost

financial health while

spending underneath

your meager post-tax salaries—

unless, by gosh and golly,

your earnings sooner be

discovered shockingly

much less than cheated Valerie’s …

in such a case, just quit

your thankless job to join

with ill-found hermits in

their aimless hidden galleries.
