TRAILER, by                    
First Line: When people say a witty thing
Last Line: That will not come again!
Subject(s): Roads; Paths; Trails


When people say a witty thing,
I never have a comeback.
I'm silent as a calendar
Impaled upon a thumbtack.

But when the chance to speak is gone
And finished are the quips,
The answers that I think of then
Undoubtedly are pips.

Ah, me! The smart and funny cracks
On ice within my brain,
Awaiting opportunities
That will not come again!
