What To Do, What To Do
What to do!!
What to do!!
When the recalcitrance of youth
obstreperously plagues my aging,
refuses to allow a separation
between then….and now.
The daredevil of the mind
still seeks to challenge limits
stretch decreasing boundaries
limp at full speed toward a goal.
What to do?
What to do?
When youthful exuberance
overwhelms wizened wisdom
shouting:
”GET UP!!’
“WE GOT THINGS TO DO.”
