Old Age


The tale hangs low,  the wits are slow
Old age
The knees creak,  the joints are weak
Old age
The eyes are dim , the outlook’s grim
Old age
The hearing’s going,  the grey hairs showing
Old age
Some teeth are broken,  the cheeks are sunken
Old age
The appetite’s rabid , the thoughts are morbid
Old age
The future’s bleak, will I last the week?
Old age
The coat is dull , time for a cull?
Old age
