Notes About The Poem

Reese's Peeces is a popular chocolate candy (poetic license used on the spelling)

This Old Body

This old body's not state of the art
Served me well but now's falling apart
Like Reese's Peeces
In bits and pieces
Only thing working well's the kickstart

When I saw the title, I had to read it. My mother was always saying "This Old Body," now like mother, like daughter!
