Now in doddering dotage scant wisps of gray hair (vestige of once luxuriant natural periwigged realm) nothing except splotched scalp revealed. Senescence stole mine prime mortal heft away atrophied, eroded and weathered me body once robust doubting thomas, who didst delay livingsocial, especially rolling in the hay never gathered rosebuds while I may impossible mission now to slay invisible decrepitude even if I recruited Zoro. Post traumatic stress (shell shock not military related) awoke, when espying lapsed existence viz twenty/twenty hindsight oblivious to tempus fugit when this young contra dancing bloke now upon ruminating foregone opportunities doth shed tears and choke.
