"I kept on and on urging this friend of our family - you got to look after yourself. Quit the booze, stop smoking and staying out all hours chasing women. Would he listen? Nah. So, the inevitable happens. Last week, right there in the pub, he keels over and dies, face first in the oysters Andaluz."

"Wow! How old was he?"

"102."

Hi Nicholas, great text and hope it provides the mask-wearers with a 'kick in the butt'.

I also reposted it on the CCC (controversial Covid corner) sub-Forum of ThaigerTalk

> https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/32983-the-man-behind-the-mask-a-poem-for-the-masked-from-hero-to-zero/

and added a sub-title to the Post

The Man Behind the Mask - A Poem for the Masked (from Hero to Zero)

Cheers from a Fellow True-Facer
