Ages should be with me
What will you choose if you.........quoth he
My choice is not to keep mountainous age,
‘Tis my desire, 'Ages should be with me '.
..............Before the utterance of thought
Of the Palmist, gave my hand in his hand
With crabbed line and said, lo it has wrought.
'Ya, ............its Silver hand with moon's spot
But Fate...Ah! this line is..Right...self created
Lines! Sun, Mercury. Venus..Okay, but... The pot'
Sir, rays of your Eyes are very hot
Lest it should melt and mingle, please leave
Let me go now, have to work a lot.

At my astonishment, can't be told;
A lady with a suckling unmoved
Child is crying at full throat
Unaware, the mother was;
I think the cry was for the milk
And the lady, a mother half naked
Careless with the careless world
Fleshless, full Skelton like a x-ray report
A girl might be of age ten, twelve or so

And then started beating the breast
