He never found a calendar
      he couldn’t keep —
 
Museums, Mens’ clubs,
      Bornholm, Bay homes,
            Cathedrals, Cats,
 
Gas stations, Radio stations,
      Candies, Cookies,
            Doctors, Drugs,
 
Insurance agents, Actors’ reps,
      Pols, Celebs,
            Pinup girls, Weber grills,
 
Alliance Française, Esperanto Youth,
      Night school, Preschool,
            Elder Host, The US Post,
 
“Dates, steaks and apricots,
      shipped to your door”,
      “Pigeons & Crocks,
            and much, much more”,
 
Endless lists,
      guarantees
            that time persists.
