12. And Lo!

As a child I had a lovely old book which had as its theme 'There is no joy unmixed with woe.' (It was about crows. I'd appreciate information from anyone who's ever heard of it.) Well, the following is a variation on the same theme. It's the result of my having had a cataract operation yesterday!!!


AND LO! THE SCALES FELL FROM MY EYES!

I thought my skin was youthful
With just some laughter crinkles.
But now my cataracts are done
I see I'm full of wrinkles!
