 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

Seen those adds
The dude has huge abs
I had them once
They moved lower to my stomach
What I have tonnage
I am taking it careful in old age
Anyone seen my cane somewhere
I have to lift it to get out of a chair
He can do chinups
I can still lift coffee cups
I have a cane I can hit him with
If lifting weights he does insist
I'm "79" and still dancing
I don't need a young man out and prancing
The dude worksout ten hours a day
Heah in the morning I am still lifting hay
And I'm playing slots at the Casino
Really old man which would you rather do?
He looks good next to that young chick
How long well he make that stick
I'm with my old lady 55 years and still hip
A beer in each hand and one resting on my tummy
You dropped the bar bell early dummy
All that time the dude stands around looking in mirrors
I watched the final four and drank a few beers
Ok, I still remem--beer the day!
The older I get the better I wuz
Gave up chasing babes just because
OK, The Petticoat Dictator had something to do why
I jumped up stuffed the ball and they got out of my sky
But nothing I can do will stop me getting one day older
And think of the time in the Gym with this beauty on my shoulder
"Dear, I know you broke your leg but get me a beer!"
OK, getting my own beer is exercise i fear
Better not push it just because
Hey, the older I get the better I wuz
"65" son you are just a kid
At some point you buckle and start to skid
All that lifting weight wears out your knees
And the Doctor well say bend over please!
"Yep" Just as I thought double knee surgery!"
And that pain I'm seeing a hernia!
And that young chick is looking at me I fears
I open the door for her as the apelike creature
looks at himself in mirrors!
OK, I am jealous well start next week
Today I am missing my sleep
Going back to bed and counting sheep
