After five-o, no telling how things will go, one thing about it, might not be slow, cause father time will steal the show.


Poem Artwork

After a certain age
down here in this earthly cage
Father time will not slow down
As time passes on into the future
I'd rather have a smile than a frown
The impact of time impresses
and there's no way to stop
the way it transgresses
Gravitational pull grips
things that happen to the body trips

Before we know it we're another
year old and more fragile
the aches and pains trump the smile
Some might notice a change
in our style
It's that or we're facing a jury trial
Nerves and patience run short
it's even worse if we drink or snort
However it's a sobering thought
to think about going to court
The next trip might be off to jail sport

As time flies on into the future
a little more wisdom moves to nurture
The mind gets smarter
the body trips older
reminds us that it might not be good
to get any bolder
Going too far out on a limb
might cause us to lose grip
Watchout you might slip
Then you really will have to slow down
with that broken hip
Here's the deal
the bodies even slower to heal
Father time is always finding another
way to steal
We even have to watchout the way
we eat a good meal
