Ancient Man Fossilizing
Ancient Man Fossilizing
Ancient withered old man clings to life
Shrivels up in his smelly bed and watches
Westerns on his black and white TV
Sets himself a goal to live another day
Ninja’s come in to steal his windows
They seem to like glass and the pane it comes in
His bald head can’t help him
His teeth?…..No teeth to speak of….
Ninja’s have no time for him
Fossilizing in his bed
He adds no value to their crime
They move lightning fast and don’t like turtles
Or anything that moves so slow
Including black and white TV western shows
Ancient man falls back to sleep
Dreams of Ninja’s stealing windows
Still wonders what happened to his teeth
Hopes no one stole them
