The Summing Up.


    Life's fallacies line up like a rigmarole,
    In the rough and tumble of a living row.
    The fantasies of childhood fail to further in adolescence.
    Teen age glories become tissues of lies.
    Romance developed like a baby in mother's womb,
    Recedes like some mothers' gestational diabetes.
    Even adulthood amusements have an undercurrent
    Of anemic backlogs.
    Mismatch of marriages,like a child and its sullen looks,
    Manipulates exotic printouts of daily delusions.
    Roses are made but not grown.
    Ageing surrenders to the rancid course of mulling
    In matter-of -fact reminiscences.
    The terminal collection of silly nothings
    Transforms into flowery wreaths and rich requiems
    With a bonus of frills and filigrees
    For the decorative map of each one's life line.
