Diminished
Diminished sight, hearing, reasoning ability;
If one should show signs of these,
Old Age must take responsibility!
Can't see further than mah nose sometimes,
'Specially when it's dark or cloudy,
But from last night's shows on TV,
I learnt blind folks could learn to get by.
This reminds me of the blind leading the blind,
Along a path full of sorrow.
For they go without first checking,
Where or how to follow!
Diminished in finances by going
Into your own Recession, Repression of funds
You expected from past stow-always to enjoy
A life-style worth living, in a moderate sense.
Why did't you be like most Tom Fools,
Heading for sprees, curses, gambling
And other follies in a gain less ventures,
Until all are gone,
Waiting to see what Tom Sensible put
Away for a rainy day!
