"SHE"

I went to the doctor

I went to the Zoo

I saw a very beautiful flower

But still…no power

I watched myself in the shower

And I said to myself

What a pity you ain’t that pretty

For tragedy strike again

I lost another hair

As I stand here naked…

Filled with despair

I could not fake it

As I looked in the mirror

I saw another gray hair

I realize I am not 18 anymore

Too damn late to fight it

Much too late to quit

All I know I am having a fit

I know I don’t like shooting

But….

I closed my eyes

And I was not alone

As there she was standing…. My clone

In the mirror stood an old woman with a gun

On her face was not even a grin

But the eyes looked the same

I went to the doctor

Now I live in a Zoo!!

They say *SHE* is Nutz!!
