Wistful Aging

Age gracefully…that’s what I’ll do Going to ignore the lines, how about you? Inner beauty is what really counts I happen to love my drooping mounts Absolutely no Botox or fillers for me Another varicose vein, Yipee I’ll learn to love myself, no matter what I will forever have my untucked gut Graceful and elegant, that’s what I am I will tell those cosmetic companies to scram Lip plumping or lipo…no darn way! And as for my hair…I will let it go gray Facelifts are for the weak, you know I happen to adore the feet of the crow I’ll snub my reflection, chuckling a little at me… For shunning pricey moisturizers provides me with glee I don’t need any convertible or flashy car My beauty shines really brightly, from afar Who cares about the rolls, seeming to multiply each day? No staples for me, I don’t care what I weigh Dark circles make my eyes look cute And those saddlebags are really a hoot Juvederm and Radiance ….what a waste On this mug, parentheses DO have a place Lasik-I sincerely think not That bifocal look is certainly hot A new boytoy-There will be none of that Though I’m sure he’d dig my charming back fat The bell, oh no, I don’t mean to be crass I guess I dozed off in Algebra Class I must have been close to 40 in that frightful dream And I was just about to let off a really loud scream Nevertheless, my dear friends, I do so solemnly vow To go off and age gracefully…at least for now That's right...no need for the third degree I promise to not get my first brow lift…until I’m at least 23
