Golden Wedding Anniversary

Your racing bike is broken with a bad derailleur.
   I look back at my life and admit it’s a failure.
   If a daft old hen laying scrambled eggs, so sad, can, 
   Then I will concede that I’m an addle-brained madman. 
Like a leafless tree holding a kite frame skeleton, 
Your arms and my legs are no stronger than gelatin. 
   As an eagle whose threadbare wings will no longer fly, 
   It’s time now for me to find a quiet place to die.
