The Secret to Longevity

    Ah! myriad scents flood the air all around me
       I've surely found the secret to longevity

    My skin appears fresh, free of age-marks
       On a journey to my youth I embark

    I leap the fence ‘round my folks' humble dwelling
       My lungs rapidly expanding and swelling

    As I shout out with glee, 
       ‘I’m finally free! Hey, world, it’s me!’…  

    In rapture of ecstasy, I open my eyes
       All I can sense are falsehoods and lies

    You knew, yes you knew, this couldn’t possibly last
       ~ Beware of invitations to visit your past
