Hey duke-
Good short one, and short ones are usually my favorites since they require precise wording.
Dearest Hope
When I’m eighty-one
dare I even hope for such
uncritical leman? Six, instead of five syllables, but who's counting? Especially OK since I learned a new word- 'leman'. I love when that happens. My leman is something that I may be lucky enough to celebrate should I make it another dozen years. My wife thought I was calling her a lemon until I explained the spelling and definition. Then she wondered who my mistress/lover was. Fortunately I quickly answered, "you, of course."
Thanks for adding to my vocabulary with such an interesting word,
Mark
