More Sand Please

More Sand Please By Tom Wright A man whose sole existence was from the land, Found his years were hurrying through his hand. As he fought aches and pains, He had constant weight gains, But prayed daily for his hourglass, more sand.

How very true, I thought, whilst taking a painkiller with my cup of tea. What sand we wasted in our youth..... Nice verse, Tom.
