175.《七絕‧狂歌》一老年人

     彈劍狂歌詩網留，

     有誰知我幾時休？

     光陰飛逝人何在？

     舊憾柔情總帶愁。

‘Clicking’ the sword, singing madly,

         I post on the ‘net’ my poems best.

         Who’d know when I’ll be put to rest?

With Time flying past so quickly,

Where’re some of the people I know?

         Bygone laments and tend'rness –

         (But with no chance of redress) –

Leave behind traces of sorrow.
