Growing Old
Growing Old
Women lose their pretty looks,
Some to petty cosmetic crooks,
Others dally on foreign beach,
Adonis studs their purses reach
But men just watch their bellies
Grow, and with big car, trophy
Girls to go
For summer is the mating season,
When men and women, lose all
Reason.
And as the years take on their toll
The older-aged and flaccid loll,
For hanging skin does not atone,
Or money help them when alone
