Parrots

When you growing older The ugly parrots of birthdays Delightfully remind your age You tell them shut up They cry out loudly Once these parrots Were sweet nightingales Singing nicely on the early days Twenty one Twenty two Twenty three And now with a nasty voice As boaster parrots Break your eardrums Sixty three Sixty four Sixty five.

Parrots can live long enough to count a person's age into the sixties. Nice descriptiveness here.
