The Fountain of Youth restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters, or so we would wish. On a trip to Florida we came upon it and entered to taste of its water. I still haven’t felt anything, but I’m waiting, even though it must be going on ten years. I’m reminded of it because the younger son and his family are now down in Florida, and in visiting with the neighbors, they, too, will soon head down there. I just can’t restrain myself from writing this hokey limerick:

I drank from the Fountain of Youth,

But it’s claims hold no truth. 

I’m still growing old, 

and if truth be told, 

I’ve gotten a bit “long in the tooth.”
