OH NO !

Another rerun.....

I've got to go on a crash diet
and grow a head of hair
whatever works, well I shall try it
to keep my head from being bare

I need to trim my mustache neat
and shave 'most every day
and, again, watch what I eat
so some of me will go away

Trim the hair in ears and nose
clip nails on fingers and on toes
use drops to allay bloodshot eyes
work out the jiggle in my thighs

Can't do much about my limp
( but everybody knows I'm gimp )
I'll go to dentist, he'll bequeath
some of that stuff to whiten teeth

I need to buy some new clothes too
my old wardrobe ? It just won't do
and get new shoes to cover feet
transformation needs to be complete

Got to do this all real fast !
remaining time will not long last
why worry 'bout how fast time passes ?
my better half is getting glasses !

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction): 
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?

Stan,

Uplifting, this. Even getting older has is comedic parts -- I just wish I could laugh longer and louder about them. It is not for wimps.

Fun read!!
