Ageing
Ageing.
Hearing going fast,
Teeth already gone.
Eyes are squinting,
Hair needs tinting.
Thoughts are straying,
What are they saying?
Back has a twinge,
Need a hip hinge.
Knees seem to click,
Time to get a stick.
Got to get a bit slimmer,
Before I need a zimmer.
Fingers keep locking,
Need an elastic stocking.
Toes get the cramp,
Undies get damp.
Forgot what comes next,
Must be why I get vexed.
Starting to nod my head,
Hot cocoa and bed.
G'nite.
