Face the Facts--Relax
Face The Facts--Relax
When a senior widower I became
I joined others whose situation is the same.
One of those independent living places
Where you see many new faces.
Was told I might even attend
To the discovery of a nice new lady friend.
The widowed women unencumbered
Had us men far outnumbered.
I was told of all the dangers
Of being approached by female strangers.
Alas, now I’ve come to realize
This attack by women would not materialize
Can’t blame the weather or the season
Aha, I think I’ve found the reason;
I have now but a fraction
Of the old attraction.
I’ve lost that old ability
Because of my senility---oh well!
