Who will be the last man standing (in 54)?
Who will have no one mourning him?
No one to chant a requiem,
None to post collages.
When will the 6th enclosure close yonder?
We will know that soon enough.
For the countdown has begun.
A clairvoyant says:
Some souls will crowd the Pearly Gates
To cheer the lonely trudger.
'Buck up mate!' they will say to the trudger.
'Better late than never, mate!
Josh run is over, done and dusted!'

Ashish. A lovely post. Yes, who will bring the curtain down on No 54 a house with a Bamboodoor. In this xcountry I don't want to be in the last enclosure. The losses will mount, but we need to close ranks. All the best my mates. Salute to those who have closed the first enclosure.
Excellent Ashish.Special cheers as it is coming from hunter mate.
Very well articulated Ashish! The summons of the eternal Bugler will come at each one's destined hour!
Sorry, just read it. Well worded
"Singularly" poignant n Brilliant...a sad reminder, inevitable though, that there has to be "One".. Wonder, Why, I hadn't read this earlier!
G
Excellent piece, Ashish !! And an apt one too.
There will be noan standing, in all probability, it will be the last man lying 🤥
Cheers, take it as it comes, for it will come, you like it or not, a few years up and down does not really matter.We have left our legacy, God or bad..that won't change, for the boots are long gone, and your past is cast in stone and no oone knows better than coursemates, they may not say
Somehow missed this earlier. Brilliant piece.
Brilliantly written
Thank you everyone for your kind comments.
The inevitable. But it's tough to lose someone so early. They are among those who I thought would be playing basket ball at 90.
Ashish, very well worded and lots of meaning to it . This should be passed on to The last man standing
