Fewer Hugs

   When you can no longer bend down to pick something up
       or take your best gal for a stroll in the park

   And putting your socks on is a battle royale
       ruining your morning and your remaining morale

   When two minutes in the sun sets you to sweating
       you lament that from life you’re not getting

    any roses or tulips, but instead a pair of blue lips
       from moaning and groaning at the aches in your two hips
 
    Why not cheer up, my good friend – God must really love you
       to pay you such attention, every minute he hugs you… 

     … Well, pardon me, if you will, but I’d prefer fewer hugs
           if God really loved me, He’d just pull the plug
