Ruby Scooby Dooby

       Back in '69, September time, I wed my pretty chick
       I loved her then (I love her now!) but don't the years go quick--

       My hair went West, My chest sunk South, my springy step has sprung
       But I see her now and wonder how she's kept herself so young
       For she doesn't seem much older, just a grey hair here and there
       A portrait in the attic? I don't know, nor do I care!

Lighthearted truth-

what a pleasant change. I have no suggestions. I enjoyed the liberal and effective use of punctuation, the internal rhyme and the surprising last line. For someone whose springy step has sprung, this was a jaunty piece.

Thanks for the kind words, I believe that some try far too hard to be "worthy" poets. Let it go with the flow! Have a laugh, it's still allowed ! Kindest regards Ian T
