Difficult Dilemna

When you do have a difficult dilemma,
Will you need to have a naughty enema,
Or after day became old and was done,
Went out and had whole hell of a lot of fun.

When a wood duck’s,
cluck is stuck, 
how much cluck, 
would a wood duck cluck,

Sit, wallow wet in tears, and never know.

in pains my age-mates
dig the earth each year

When I think of traveling backwards in time
With all of life’s processes run in reverse,
The thought of unaging seems wondrously fine,
But of undigesting, decidedly worse.
