Age

Age
The face I see 
In the morning mirror 
Is of my father 
I imperiously ignore him 
And shave a smooth face 
Half my age. 
Nature is kind to us old 
We are unable to see how aged we are.
As the outside doesn´t look
Like the inside. 
But if you tell me I look forty five 
You are patronizing me.
And I will think you are anti-old
But being wise I will not say so 
Just disinherit you...punk.
