Poem
Woke up this morning With news headlines spawning I do not know if it's winter yet Because of old age I often forget Got to realise how weird it is When I can brush my teeth And scratch my nose But try as I might I just can't touch my toes Wasn't too bothered when Often times back ache set in And even when Viagra Didn't give me the desired vim But this is not a funny joke The morning when I woke And begin to realize That I could twist my hip Do a jig But try as I might , I just can't tough my toes. Pinocchio was a lier Kristine Keeler was a hooker And Lord Lampton got exposed But trouble comes in different parcels But where mine is heading God only knows When my wallet drop on the floor Bend down to pick it up Like brass monkey in winter The entire lumber vertebrae, froze Often times mi get a pain in the neck When it comes, I can deal with it Sometimes mi love to dance Do a foxtrot and even a quickstep But that is no compensation When mi toe nail look like talon And size ten no longer fit mi But try as I might to cover them With knitted socks, mi get since when Its a doomed attempt Flexibility is now a distant memory And back ache now my closest friend Mi know young people Will laugh at old people's talk But it only seems like yesterday When I too was laughing But today , I am walking the walk. The same thing whey a reach mi Is the same thing a happen to mi friend But if you think it can't reach you You better think again Mi used to be a little sprite Do head spins and bouncing somersaults Do some boxing, and throw down a fight But time travels faster than lightening And my black hair overdosed on whitening So before you reach my milestone Heed my warning, get enlighten That one day, not so far away Things are going to be past memories Because try as you might You may bend your knees , Scratch your nose Try as you might You just can't touch your toes.
