White-Bearded Popeye
****************************
White-bearded Popeye
Went for a date with Olly
They ordered crispy fries
chilled beer to wash down
Yet onlookers didn't miss
The silent sadness on them
years was a frivolous blast
Both knew wouldn't last
In each others eyes
They saw the happy rewind
Strength flowed again into
their weakened limbs
They held each others hands
Danced through the resto floor
Onlookers gaped eyes wide
The happy couple were on a ride
They sailed on a mind-boat
Keeping one another afloat
The blue cloudless sky
Sea birds sailing by
Wishing a final goodbye
The boat you know well
Sprung many a leak
Slowly drifted
Into the setting sun

That's what he looks like as a senior citizen. Good stuff.

the old toons make for a happy rewind. wonderly to read your latest branb fart. Yes, I know that skiff. It summons but I have sealant and lots of corks for leaks. I read a poem lately about shifting constellations, during season's change. Like that. 70 in February. My feet are a little wet about now as the right hand heals :D ~ stella
