The wall-clock ticks,
my hands are old,
I think of youth -
those winning smiles.
A peppermint
upon my tongue,
and in this room,
my writing desk.
Tap, tap, typing,
bent like an 'S',
I hurry up
at least two lines.
Now i may view
my daily soap,
a story told
in TV land -
Where Jim gets on
with pulling pints -
and Sally Ann
is made of light.
