No Time to Lose Your sanity, virility, Perspective or ability, Patience’s restraint, Or mutable desirability, Morals, memories faint, Eventing fate’s deductibility, Belief in deities quaint, Honeyed thoughts of positivity, Youth’s declining plaint, Increasing bouts of irritability. Know to be a morbid saint Loss, in variability. Cormac Culkeen 2021
