On 27 February 2020, Poem Hunter chose my poem: Two Chipmunks as member poem of the day. This is the seventh poem of mine that they have selected for this honor. Thank you, Poem Hunter.

I wouldn't trade that experience for anything in the world, but I wouldn't give ten cents to do it again.
If you find me asleep, leave me alone; dead, wake me up.

Referring to your Quiz update 10 - new generations tell me that Poemhunter pretty much looks like a virus from the 90's.

Kumarmani Mahakul bestowed the title of Heavenly Fortune on me. How he came up with that, I'll never know. If I did have a fortune, that would be heavenly!
I think Groucho Marx may have said the line about after all is said and done, but am not certain. No matter, it is a great and true proverb.
