Vision In White



White socks, white t-shirt, white jockeys A vision in white to behold The epitome of a sad lonely senior Trying hard not to get old Riding his bike three times a day Hoping to become an adonis Sure hate to disillusion this dear old soul With great intensity, he's dauntless Not wanting to destroy this dream of his To again be a hit with the girlies Poor old soul, he's living in a dreamworld Of days when his teeth were pearly Sadly, we're all bound to be there one day Why can't we forever be young Running through fields with a sweet young thing Those days I'm afraid are all done White socks, white t-shirt, white jockeys A vision of sadness to behold Clinging to life, trying to turn back time Mind's young but the body is old © Jack Ellison 2013

    We can still touch the young. The best childrens poetry website I've ever seen is www.josiespoems.webeden.co.uk You've got to see this site... I think you can do even one better... though I don't know how anyone could. Even at our age remember: the skies the limit. Our bodies are old but our minds can still be young...
