Old Show

Have a hole in my sock
Sneaker is torn
A bump like Hernia
Next to my groin.

Corsage must pick
My son’s prom tonight
Stop by MacDonald’s
Grab me a bite.

Must watch out for myself
Front tooth is loose
If I chew too hard
It’ll be of no use.

Good thing still have hair
Although grows quite thin
If it starts to fall
Damn curly sin.

Done the days chores
Rest and sit down
Getting old for this circus
Should be a retired clown.
