A Young Man's Game

Slipping on tinkles ain't easy my boy
When zippers get stuck it can be a pain
The thing that I hold once gave me such joy
Now it's just leaky and leaves a round stain

Golden years my **** that's a silly name
 Now it's really dangerous to go to bed
 I tell you that stuff is a young man's game
She laughs quite loudly "you can't raise the dead!"

A little fast rubbing might do the trick
Perhaps if she tries, it will be worth while
I'm not opposed to a lollipop lick
Three small inches might grow into a mile

Everything worked but then my back went out
What she thought was joy was a painful shout

Hi Eileen, thanks for spotting my error. Hugs Rick.

Oh, this is sooo funny, Richard. Lots of great laughs in every verse. My favorites were "you can't raise the dead" and the mistaken intent of the "painful shout" at the end. Love this and I'm sure Sara will too. I'm so glad I saw your handsome face and note on a member's poem, so I came here to check out what you've been up to. (My neighbor's name is Lamoreaux, similar to yours.) High seven!
