Pole Cat Creek Bridge, Butler County, Kansas, built 1910

No time for Facebook

Friends,

I have no time

For Facebook

So,

If you don’t mind

Look me up

In a telephone book

If they still exist.

Better yet,

Come on by the house

I am sitting on the porch

Sharing a thought with Horace

From a book I bought

Long ago

He says,

Carpe Diem

Be wise,

Sip the wine

Its mighty fine

Enjoy!

Since life is brief,

Of the past,

It’s gone

Good riddance

Of the future,

Ask not - we cannot know

What the gods are thinking

As we’re drinking

Prune back those far-reaching hopes

For even as we speak,

Time has passed

Nothing lasts

So pluck the day,

It’s all you’ve got

Forget about tomorrow!

Horace, Odes 1.11
