 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

CASTLE ON THE HILL


I am getting older but too young
to think about dying
The retirement home on the hill
Just have to wait
I'm not standing at the front gate
Masonic old home waits for retirement
But to say I am ready I'd be lying
So you know I'll just drive on by
The Castle on the Hill
Walking daily time well spent
By the old home I will sprint
"You too can have a free motorized wheelchair!"
On this bad knee I'll continue to walk
Until the day legs won't get me there
It will be a hearse before I need a nurse
Cause I ain't waiting for the grim reaper
