Testament


No novel will my life inspire —
biographers will look elsewhere —
nor playwrights need an actor hire
to play one so outside the glare.

Though what I know is what I'll leave:
the trace of lore and comedy,
the bits of verse and wordy weave —
electric'ly bequeathed by me.

    A witty write. I truth, all we can leave behind us are our words.

    Very nice, Philip.

    Words are a very worthy thing to leave behind. Some last longer than memories.
