The Anecdotal Age Of Teddy Legmund

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Teddy Legmund  should have died young,

leaving behind a pretty corpse

but his ego would not

allow that.  

Then his heart, which had romanced him

through one hundred and one silk sheets,

sent up flares. 

But now, another friend means another 

lunch tab as long as Teddy  does all  the talking.
Every conversation is  an audience of one

and every fifth story is about

a pacemaker.
