Dave Timperley Poet Rhyme

Where Did It Go

When I look in the mirror at my figure,
I wonder, where did it go?
I once was lithe, with so much vigour,
I wonder, where did it go?
I once had a six pack instead of a keg,
I wonder, where did it go?
Biceps and triceps, strong in arm and leg,
I wonder, where did it go?
Eyes like a hawk and ears that could hear,
I wonder, where did it go?
Now it's, what's was that I didn't hear my dear,
I wonder, where did it go?
Now I'm at the age when my hormones don't rage,
I wonder, where did it go>
I think I've become another grey haired old sage.
So really I no longer wonder where did it go,
It is all still there, just hidden, by my old age.
