Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

I'M All Ears

I’m All Ears

By Elton Camp

When we become adults, most growth will cease
There’re places that continue their size to increase

The lens of the eye, bigger and bigger will it get
In middle age there’s no longer any focusing of it

To read fine print, farther and father we hold it away
No use, we will be forced to wear glasses some day

The nose is another body part that continues to grow
When old enough, we say, “Oh, if only that wasn’t so.”

Another place that will gradually grow bigger, I fear
Is the flap of the ear, which will bring to us no cheer

While even normal sized ears look quite bad enough,
Having them become huge when we’re old is tough

And while it is sad, but true, the belly may grow too
But unlike the other three, if it happens is up to you
