Balls

To a successful woolgathers' writer in the way of the poet Marcus Valerius Martial (40-104 ad)


Dan, if you're good to fling us
with wisdom's words
we're yours.
But please, don't scatter
notorious baloneys
stop and save your soul.

Youth, forget it:
he isn't right aged for you
'cause only the youngest
or the oldest people
should play with balls
