In all serouseness
even though I'm only so old
both my parents were born in 1923
I myself the youngest of ten children
can appreciate

A time when physicians made house calls
as well as genuine poetry

that was as some might say brilliant
such that it bestowed
essential truths

William Carlos Williams

"This is just to say"

if anything was everything

Like it should be said

in the most simplest form earnest poetry

I think that would make the most sense!
