Where I expected to be immortal,

DEGE
Degenerative Elven Genetic Enhancement

oh woe
alack alas
I won't live forever,
nor my poetry.

But I'll have a fucking great time doing it.

Or are you just being a shit-stirrer like me?

Must have been...

those big balls. Or all that heavy thinking, you've been doing. LOL. Good to see you so disgustingly healthy, I guess we can look forward to many more years Elfin mischief, ~ Gee
