 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


This is for married as well as singles
We meet at the knee doctor or the Dentist
optionally Hip Surgery
OK, the Casino bus
Anyone have a cigarette?
I met my true love
Waiting for the Social Security check
Avoid walking on walker to mailbox
Cold cereal and milk
New car commercials are not reality
Kids have taken away your license
But you can still remember
Walking the dog on level ground not hills
Someone is hiding my pills
Winking at the lady mumbling, "No way no way!"
Wondering if she was ever good looking
Sitting in Wheelchairs waiting for lunch
Tasteless mashed potatoos and tasteless gravy
the lady next to you is asleep
Hearing appointment followed by eye appointment
Used to be Love now it is Dear
Or can I help you up?
Is she coming on to you or the wheelchair out of control
She wants to race you have a sexy date
first one to the urinal is the winner
The next race begins in about ten minutes for men
Is she flirting in the bus to the Casino
Get over it she is out of quarters
She wants to talk about her dead husband
No, she wants your pillow it is after seven in the evening
Ah, dating for singles and married over 75
You have the same Doctors
For your monthly Social Security check
You recieve points and a new plastic urinal from China
Last month it was a cheap suitcase that
for obvious reasons you had to donate to Goodwill
At least you are old enough to know free is not free

It's seven ten Pm anyone out there or all asleep
Remember when it was Playboy Bunnies you were counting?
Now you just go to sleep counting Sheep and looking for your teeth
and it better be with your hearing aid
Next week we well talk about dating over eighty
And the walkers are motorized
Anyone who can still walk without a cane or walker is fair game
Both of you!
