Youthful Old Heart

Learn to stay calm and placid Now again don’t make me start Let me believe and act my age You, my youthful old heart Don’t jump at the sight of biceps Or skip a beat at dimpled grins Quit trying to convince me That those are legal sins Don’t yearn for the red lipstick And that gaudy naughty nail paint Let me present a tempered look Or my name they’ll purely taint Written on 08/19/2016 Contest: Oxymoronic Obsession by David Lindsay Oxymorons: youthful old,legal sin,purely taint
