Ecstatic crowds their guest acclaim,
Advancing on a donkey’s back,
Oblivious to their destined shame
That shall be writ on History’s plaque.
Grand Masters with approval hear,
Ecstatic crowds their guest acclaim,
Their deeper residential fear,
Conspire masses’ ire to blame.
The faithful in confusion, lame,
The way with palms and cloaks bedeck,
Ecstatic crowds their guest acclaim –
Did this a Nation’s future wreck?
Only reflection would define,
Immortalized by rider’s name,
That all this happened by design,
Ecstatic crowds their guest acclaim!

lost my car keys yesterday…a RBD (really big deal) and missed an important appointment. I’d blame it on advanced age, but I was like that when I was ten, except didn’t have car keys then.

the keys are on a badge-holder thingy that hangs around my neck, its bright blue. They were hiding in an obscure spot behind a small cupboard…I had looked under, on both sides, inside…but not in the tiny tiny crevice. sigh…
