I run my bath water tepid,

I'm older but, still fairly intrepid.

Since, I've turned 62,

What on earth can I do?

But, to laugh at it all.

Do I entertain you?


Though, not yet old enough for the rest home,

it's been whispered

I"m beginning to resemble a garden gnome.

My spirit bleeds silly.

My veneer is blanched pilly.

I'm growing old, what a drag.

When I date, I go stag.

Young women and old,

must think I have mold.

I barely get noticed.

So what's the red flag?

I've even considered renting rut stags

But, men too, wouldn't use me

They'd hurt and abuse me

then toss me away like some toothless old nag.

I've once again,reviewed The Tao.

It instructs me to dwell in the "here" and the "now".

But, "now" my skin isn't pink.

I smell like a skunk, what a stink.

Like the cancer it has traveled to my toilet and sink.

A stealthy stench, of which

it's a bitch.

You don't need a de-coder

to uncover the odor.

I'm slowly decaying,

I'm dying.

I think...
