Old, Broken Down and Delapidated

Old, Broken Down and Delapidated are words some men use to describe
women of a certain age, because they have matured and wondered away from the 
naive stage, they have reached a place where they are comfortable with 
themselves and don't need to have the flattery of deceptive elves,
The days of bubble gum and bobby socks have disappeared,
Men say they want a real woman, yet, they are so content to linger 
around the juvenile crew, primarily because they don't know any better
and haven't got a clue! Teenaged girls are much preferred because they hold them 
in high esteem, the weaklings need to be revered,
even if it's baloney and a pile of s-h-h-a-v-i-n-g cream,
A woman who is composed and doesn't laugh at all their silly jokes
makes them feel as if they have lost their game, while teeny boppers
makes them feel smarter than a window pane,

Old, Broken Down and Delapidated is not so bad, if one has survived
the 100 years war with deceptive Sir Gallahads, or tragedy unaware,
Many broken down women are just glad to be here,
living amongst God and folks who are about something as opposed to gentry
who prefer to be shallow criticizing everyone and everything.....
