Keith Richards at 80


(1)

On his eightieth birthday it seems

There will be inescapable memes

Making light of the age

Of the Rolling Stone sage

As the most entertaining of themes.


(2)

That Keith played the lyre with Apollo

Is a fable that somehow rings hollow. --

But reports of his glorious

Gigs with Praetorius

Are really quite easy to swallow.
