Derma-Chris Crinkled

How I long for days of yore,
Young at heart with open door.

Wishful, bashful, silly grin;
Wearing smooth and silky skin.

Now the years have passed me by,
My wrinkled face makes me sigh.

Cream it, stretch it, make it tight;
Purely for reflective sight.

Thinking of those times to come,
When then I can't remember some.

And even though a dermal sin,
I'll pray for crinkled skin again.
