Growing Old

Growing Old
 
Women lose their pretty looks, 
Some to petty cosmetic crooks,
Others dally on foreign beach, 
Adonis studs their purses reach

But men just watch their bellies 
Grow, and with big car, trophy
Girls to go

For summer is the mating season,
When men and women, lose all
Reason.

And as the years take on their toll
The older-aged and flaccid loll,
For hanging skin does not atone,
Or money help them when alone
