Laments of the Old
LAMENTS OF THE OLD
that poor, painful cry
“i’ve fallen and can’t get up!”
hope god will hear you
this is my sickness –
i want to sleep all the time
my kitty don’t mind
i will surely die
forgot to take prescriptions
it’s part of old age
the house is a mess
my wife saves everything
blames it on the cat
oh, dear lord, now what?
there is a crack house next door
change locks seal windows
a car just went by
music so loud it shook the house
scared old puss in boots
mortuary called
bargain price on caskets
it WAS a fine day
i can’t control gas
nor the water works either
monthly bill sky high
