“MR. KIM’S DISCOVERY!” a poem. a.k.a.: “A Lesson in Alchemy!” July 16, 2018 (Moon Day)

Aloysius B. McKim was searching for The Answer,

To gain Eternal Life – He was a real “prancer,”

And a lonely, searching, tortured boy,

Expressing-notions: of Love-and-Joy,

To turn base metal – to purest gold!

He labored long – and was quite bold,

And, at life’s “end”(?), he happened on,

The-pot-of-gold, he’d finally won!

His secret – was Tao-ist, Chinese yang – yen,

So, IF you wish The Gold, my frien’,

OPPOSITES MUST BE REPAIRED;

Then, aging process (pause) can be “bared?”

Al Kim’s secret? Find-a-mate,

One-who-LOVES-you, for-goodness’-sake,

And, if you do, Love-of-her-and-her-to-him,

Reverses time!! You court “your whim!”

Then ageless love is yours, Oh Boy,

BUT – Don’t-you-look, you-little-toy:

YOU JUST RELAX, and SMILE and SIGH,

Hoping that you will not die,

Before you happen-upon THAT ONE!

ALCHEMY! IT’S SO MUCH FUN!!

Become PURE GOLD; your Best Friend too!

THANKS, AL KIM – for-what-Al-kim-ists DO!
