Old and Grey

I'm old, I'm Grey, I'm in the way, You push me to the side! I hurt! I sleep! And seldom eat! I just cant wait to die. I'm wrinkled, I sweat, I somehow met, The demon thats inside, I read, I squint, Without a hint, I Just cant wait to die. My cat he sits, And purrs all day, I pat his lovely fur. The temperature is eighty six, But I sure say a burr. I cough, I hack, And spit up blood, It comes out all dark red, My feet they hurt, My hands do to, I wish i was a dead.
