My Cup Runneth Over

MY CUP RUNNETH OVER My cup runneth over now in my eighties Will it ever slow this love for the ladies Thought ahead when I was a younger man Love in my eighties was not in the plan However in my mind I'm as active as ever Always can be found searching for pleasure Pleasures we dream from a very young age Like a male of the species locked in a cage Wanting so badly to explore the landscape All too soon our manly prowess escapes We resign to the fact our bodies can't perform As when our youthful stamina was norm Minds are still active as they were back then But the body's changed, takes longer to ascend It's all part of life, this unparalleled journey But we manage to survive all the topsy-turvy

As the saying goes, "The mind is willing, but the body is weak" My take would be, "Boundless energy, weak battery" Keep it UP Jack! A funny and honest piece. Cheers...ab
