Listen to poem:

A Keeper

Where the hell’s my glasses
I can’t see where your ass is
I can't even see what became of all my hair
Can’t seem to recall 
One single thing at all
What is this thing for, and which end goes in where
   
     Well I’m glad you’re a keeper
     You couldn’t be much sweeter
     You won’t ever leave me, you’ll never break my heart
     I like how you rub me
     But will you still love me
     Even half as much when everything else falls apart

The only thing that’s rising 
Is lately my blood pressure
You know I got to take it easy, like you always say
Everything else falls
Everything else sags
Can’t you see I’m getting way more wrinkles every day                       
                                                                                                   for Darren and Penny
