LOL..I wanted to tell you.
On yesterday’s poem post...Pristina was the primary font..then a comma and Papyrus was the default for those who do not have Pristina. If one has neither then it would show up as the font you see on FR normally.

Sand Through The Glass

Time slows and speeds at its own whim
And history is bright or rendered dim
Memories are recalled or lost in the fog
Our long history becomes a mental bog

Age becomes our journey’s log in pain
And we trudge the worn track of it again
All too familiar and all too weary is the road
And nothing’s changed to our perceived load

The fire of our hot youth has passed and cooled
And now life reminds us how we were fooled
The golden years are mostly a lower grade of brass
And we find our children are heaping full of sass

Our hard earned wisdom no one wants to hear
And so we are silent watching their needless fear
We shake our heads at the wasted effort of it all
And wonder when the Master will make that call

Still we plod on and yet still explore each new day
Happy for the chance to chance the gift of play
For honest laughter is ours even as we grow old
And so we take the day with a feeling somewhat bold

We may not be honored for wisdom so hard earned
And we may have to live with those who coldly spurn
So we shrug and get on with finding the treasure there
And live our lives with a touch of humor amid the cares

Oh, I understand. I was wondering about that. I checked my list of Fonts and I have both of those but some folks may not.
I have a lot to do today as I always do and suppose you do too. I stay busy and don’t accomplish a lot some days.
