Gonna Keep On A-Gawking

For a man of my age, I should no longer dream Of pretty young fillies, quite naughty it seems We don't lose the joy to gawk and to stare When the sweet scent of female fills up the air Sure hope I don't lose it, this wonderful feeling While sneakily snatching a look I am stealing Girls are aware of the scene they're creating Of many great memories this sight is relating The happiest times when we all were much younger These precious memories haven't lost their thunder When seeing an old codger hardly able to walk Still straining his eyes, to stare and to gawk That primordial instinct is never far away It still hangs around till our very last day So all my buckaroonies please do take heart At one hundred years old it can still joy impart Trust me I'm honest as the day is long Life still keeps singing its same old sweet song Obsessed... I guess you could say that I am Gonna keep on a-gawking for as long as I can © Jack Ellison 2015

Ah... I see you're planted firmly at the keep on a truckin' cafe... You go Jack! Dragon is grinning and shaking his head yeah... I think that is a smile. Hard to tell, Some times, with so many teeth... But I know him for a gentle soul... Still it's amazing how much he looks like a Dinosaur, at times... Plan to take him to the Museum soon. When he meets that TRex they have... This should be interesting... The not alive TRex that is... Don't want them getting into a squibble over turf... LOL

LOL! I'm telling it like it is, my friend! When we lose the ability to enjoy the sights, it's basically over! Thank you my fellow countryman! Cheers!
