An old man is an archive,
holding records of past history.
They are kept alive and survive
in his memory.
There to share with you and me,
in his wondrous library.
``
In this depository of his mind,
treasures abound you will find.
And in 'the flames of death';
when an old man dies,
a library burns down.
``
Within these waning embers
the cost,
if not passed on.
These records of wisdom,
are forever lost.
Once an old man, is gone~

G'day Thad,
Old men leave records everywhere:
Memoirs and (oh no!) poetry.
Nothing rhymes with poetry but ‘tree’
So leave it alone and let it be -
Trees last longer with less hot air…
Phew - nearly fell over there; ran out of rhyme. You are making it harder.. any time you want me to give up, just say so...
Hii ya Dave guy!! 👋 🐶 🐕
Thanks for stoppin' by! 👌
Don't give up your rhyming
comments in poetry! 😳
Cuz there's other
words that rhyme with it,
other than tree .🌴🤣
Great hearing from ya! ☺️
Best regards peace ✌️ Thad
Yes? Well I was in trouble when I looked - would quite value a small list. Might be handy sometime.... don't know when.... but...😊
Such true words Thad, so much id lost when an old man dies.
