GIFT of AGE

Aging is lovely
We all have to as must...
age with age

grey sideburns remain ...
head is either white or bald....
dentures some don
some love toothlessness

as they say
child and an old man are akin

the child drinks from a bottle
so does an old guy too
maybe now its Scotch whiskey

age along with me will you...
sans life... sans taste... sans heart throbs... heart still beats... sans the love
'twas a treat ...
now everything is a retreat....

OLD AGE NONE CAN BEAT
KING NOR QUEEN.
LORD in between
we have many seen

Aged, decrepit
yet tall smart and clean-may not have bathed-but do apply flavoured sweet smelling balming cream
and still love to eat
ICE CREAM
as we Canadians love it
