Shalom Bob,
You may read whatever you want into this poem; it is very open-ended. Glad
you liked the last line.

<< H Ryfkah,
I must say I like this poem far more than the others you've posted since
you've come back from your trip away. The humour and seriousness blend
appeals to me (the others seemed too abstract...). But this poem!!!
I feel as if I want to know something about "Sam"! Stan and Steve get a good
mention but I keep thinking, "so what about mentioning Sam again?" Sam, like
Stan, seems a strange older kind of name to me, uncle sam... Steve feels a
younger name! Am I supposed to be looking at things in the poem like this?
(Or is it names haven't the same associations/popularities in different
generations in the US as in the UK?).
The last line is dizzyingly good. It spins.
Bob
