New Wine In Old Bottle

At cock crow Lady and Mr. Y, turned seventy They googled themselves; The wind whistled past And exposed the gooses back They felt the wrinkles On their temple, The rings around their eyes And the tires around their waistline; They threw caution to the wind, Damned God's wisdom; Rejected and refused the notion That every product Has a manufacture and expiration date Like Adam and Eve, They rebelled and went On a rehabilitation and refurbishing spree: First, was a tummy tuck, Liposuction, Rhinoplasty and facelift, Then, Necklift, browlift, chinlift, breastlift And facial rejuvenation..... For a while, They shortchanged nature As a snake shells it's outer layer But, Could not cheat death When it came knocking.
