Ancient Man Fossilizing

Ancient Man Fossilizing Ancient withered old man clings to life Shrivels up in his smelly bed and watches Westerns on his black and white TV Sets himself a goal to live another day Ninja’s come in to steal his windows They seem to like glass and the pane it comes in His bald head can’t help him His teeth?…..No teeth to speak of…. Ninja’s have no time for him Fossilizing in his bed He adds no value to their crime They move lightning fast and don’t like turtles Or anything that moves so slow Including black and white TV western shows Ancient man falls back to sleep Dreams of Ninja’s stealing windows Still wonders what happened to his teeth Hopes no one stole them

Hi Richard, There are only a few people who know that I exist. I will keep on writing because that is what I do. Thank you for all your kind words and interest in my creations. Earl
