Ringo meditated his way into his “80’s.”
A relic, in the pantheon of Rock is how he Rolled.

The ever present thought of aging, rapidly taking its toll.
Rounding out numbers a blessing, yes privileged.

The progression our story at hand.
A series of Turkish soap operas, The Beauty Queen of Israel, and Fauda.
We marvel at the talent, the brand.

Moving slower as time moves more quickly.
Love watching the shows on Demand.
Our mistakes, our misfortunes our loses.
All mixed right into to the fold.
A lifetime of lessons through falling.
Getting up, while we brush off the story untold.

Reevaluation a constant envoy.
Of the people who get in our way.
Our inventory of “friends” going forward.
Positioned center stage on display.

Primordial lessons of kindness.
Comes, first second and third.
And so who will make you do push-ups?
In lieu of cheering you along.

Get rid of the the flies in your picnic
Hold tight to the words in your song. Amen!
