"In My Twenties"

Aye, right, Neil (in your mind), my friend,
I've known you from youth 'til adulthood;
But imagination's "dreaming", in the end!
You the man, me... more growth to enjoy? should

In later years, meeting time and time again,
ADIs we qualified as - both teaching/learning then!
Sharing similar interests... & without refrain.
Inevitably, our Retirement is pending... when? *

Our times touched in interesting manners,
'Tomorrow never comes', have often heard,
Then and now similar sorts of life spanners
But of course, it does - so believe my word!

Retirement comes, and then time to relax?
We can correct that false mantra: untruth!
Aye, as they say, but I'll differ ... not facts.
The world is unsure: from us to our youth?

E. A. Morrison @e.a.m.author, and:           Ewen A. Morrison < morrison.ewen@gmail.com At the end of the rainbow... not gold? There are numerous analogies which come to mind with this old photograph of mine, tickling my fairly wry sense of humour... originally, in my younger years, my key focus was on my family's well-being and so forth! Generally, when one's fit and healthy, paid employment is sought - comparatively easy back then, compared to the present times! We fortunate people could've counted our blessings while recognising how random such matters were - and perhaps, still are? Most of us know someone who'd be pleased to land a job, for various reasons, over and above the benefit of a paid income! My own 'job' ended on the 4th of February, 2010... I'd been an 'ADI': an abbreviation of DSA ADI, which is quite a mouthful 😐 That car crash destroyed both the car and my business - but not me 😉 ~ That incident finished...
