Congratulations Doc. Well done !!!

I felt a little glow in my heart too - dare I think I am the lawyer in Ipoh who kindled the spark that became a blazing fire of enthusiasm in the poetic expressions of our Doc.

Re the Class of '64 50th Anniversary Gathering at
the Klang Executive Club on 28.2.14. I would like to share something written by Robert Herrick (1591-1674), something written so long ago yet so much in context of our present stage of life. Here it goes ...

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.

Reading those lines tempted me to write a few lines of my own.

A call to Apeks

So gather together you old farts,
whilst your time’s still running.
And do bring along any old tart,
so long she’s sexy and stunning.
Drink, drink, drink and be merry
beer, brandy, whisky and sherry.
Eat, eat all you can or want,
but bang only what’s in front.

Warmest regards to all!

HSS
