Oh, all those sweet young girls I used to know In the spring of my life… they were as fresh As the spring breeze… But it was long ago; Long gone the spring and sadly aged the flesh… Time passes fast and the spring rivers flow And rough earth keeps turning under the plough… Oh, all those sweet young girls I used to know, Are sweet, old, white haired, grandmothers by now. © P J Oszmann (2006) © Illustration Created in Photoshop from a selection of "Those Sweet Young Girls" from my sketch books.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
