"Old Age"

---

Old age is when your body is friends with pain
When you lose more than you hope to gain
'Tis when you stagger, relearn the art of walk.
When you start to lose that life time bulk

Old age is when your friends begin to go
This time not cos of your tales of woe
'Time when all bottles you get to see
Are filled with pills you pray your pains will free.

Old age is when your mind takes a sudden leave
Just when a thought you are about to conceive
"Senile, dolt" words that pass through your head
Except the one you swear has somehow fled

Old age is when your kin gather around
More so when you in wealth abound
Smarmy parasites, some would kiss your ground
Long as their names there in your will be found

Old age is when you make peace with God
Though you have often found him odd
Time you lose all your bloom
Whilst death over you loom.
