my jar
of old keys
forgotten passwords
—DAN CURTIS
Ah, I remember having bunches of keys, whether for a car, or a huge bunch of fifty keys I had to carry around each day, on foot! :-)
I love the dynamic between "old keys" and "forgotten passwords" as it gets my imagination having great choices of making different connections. Love it! :-)

Thank you, Alan, for your generous praise! I'm glad this is working for you. Loved your memory of carrying around fifty keys.

Good poem Dan. I still use a skeleton key for the old house I live in and forget a password weekly.
Thanks, David! Pleased that this works for you. I know the feeling about lost passwords!
