To Suddenly Old Be

To suddenly be old It came so suddenly one day I woke and was old I thought it was never going to happen. To be old is ok up to a point, but the body is falling apart I walk with a cane now, constant pain when walking unaided. I have lost my sense of humour nothing is funny, What made me laugh has turned into shrug about the idiocy Of humans. We see this clearly when a British troops board An Iranian vessel, after request, by the USA it is laughable How they want a war that has no reason other Then revenge when Iranian students took over the American Embassy in 1976, it is sung funny, I am not laughing as the world faces another calamity, a war that will hit us all. Brexit is a hoot the British elite at its worst; it lacks dignity When incompetent politicians fight for power, do anything To avoid Corburn getting to control and destroy The elite’s little earners, I shrug we have been here before And it is not funny.
