Poem Artwork


Since when are they my best,


Most times I do for you jest,


Wish I could say these years,


Are only visiting me, yes a guest,


Some days I feel older, here to you I’ve confessed…


 


Acid from my tummy,


Burning me from inside-out & making me feel crummy,


No pain quite as great as hangovers,


Just am I becoming an old rummy…


 


As the philosopher in the hat has said,


Can’t pee, can’t see, can’t screw,


What good is old age if I can’t have fun,


Only being able to eat soft bread,


Oh what the hell I might as well be dead…

Eat Green Eggs and Ham. Dr. Seuss did and wrote about it, Ed! He sold millions of copies. Maybe you just need a new hat! Take a Tums and call me in the morning!

It's not that bad, old man - there's far more to life than peeing, seeing, and screwing. And since I can no longer do any of those things, I now sit out in the forest, eating soft bread, and listening to the birds sing. Try it - loads of fun!

PS If you share some of the soft bread with them, they sing more.
