My Virile Has Fizzled

Seems like only yesterday When I was young and virile That was then, this is now My virile has long since fizzled Whatta shame we lose our virile But imagine someone at ninety Competing in a mile long foot race Running along in his nighty Don't laugh this surely can happen Our memories aren't the best Get dressed when the sun starts setting Strip when it peeks over the crest Sure ain't all it's cracked up to be These silly old golden years If it wasn't for Cathie, dearest Cathie I'd be writing from a home I fear! © Jack Ellison 2014

No matter how the older years present themselves... Dragon says to tell you that: He is glad you are here, in any shape and form! I say don't waste it, A moment is a precious thing! We know, you are up to this, and a shaker and a mover... So shake your way to your own sweet Cathie, and start it with a kiss and a hug! Follow up in your own sweet way, before the day is over! Believe me! Dragon says he'd give you some pointers but remember he is 2. Blinging out a coloring book, may not be for you.
