|  | And here I've been listening to the Rolling Stones' Let It Bleed CD for the past few days... 
 Gimme Shelter (M. Jagger/K. Richards)
 
 Oh, a storm is threat'ning
 My very life today
 If I don't get some shelter
 Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away...
 
 War, children, it's just a shot away
 It's just a shot away...
 It's just a shot away
 It's just a shot away
 It's just a shot away
 I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
 It's just a kiss away
 It's just a kiss away
 It's just a kiss away
 It's just a kiss away
 Kiss away, kiss away...
 
 Fire and water, ma cher.  Interesting how it all plays out, no?
 
 RE: the poll -- I'm fond of a particular song by Carol Sloane/Lena Horne for that one:
 
 An older man is like an elegant wine
 I'll romance him, enchant him
 Love him, decant him...
 
 It's all a matter of perspective.  And it depends on the circumstances, certainly.
