Old age comes with a lotta different problems. Some are self explanatory.
Indecent Exposure
The judge said, “ you’re charged with Indecent exposure’, whatta you have to say?
Well your honor, a terrible mistake was made in town that day ,
I don’t wanna waste your time ,but I was to see you on the twelfth,
I told the cop I didn’t need a judge, I’ll put my britches on myself.
But, Here I am as I was told, but I think I shouldn’t be ,
There might be a reason, but that I’ve gotta see.
My being here I think, is just a waste of time ,
You know there’s many felons out there committing heavy crime,
I was at the rest home down the street and talking to a friend,
A man my age is full of problems , believe me there’s no end
There’s colonoscopy and endoscopy, with hollywood like conduction,
To show the world the before and after death of your last production,
I was extremely hopeful they wouldn’t mix things up or get confused,
I know with budget cut backs the same instruments are used,
To say the least, they couldn’t find the source of my affliction
Said we’re gonna do an inhouse. To locate your restriction,
So they brought out this electronic capsule thing and I’m to swallow it,
It travels through out your plumbing recording every thing it hit,
Once I got it swallowed, it pictured things just fine,
Boy I sure could use this thing, to check out my sewer line,
It worked, they operated, gave me scars you couldn’t beat
And this is where I got in trouble with that cop there on the street.
My friends they all were bragging about their surgeries and such
I just had to show’em what they had, just wasn’t much,
There was no one on the lawn , so I pulled down my britches,
To show this bunch of old foggies there my forty seven stitches,
Now judge before you give your sentence you’ve gotta hear me out,
There’s just a lotta other suff I ain’t told you about,
If you were gonna make me over with everything so shoddy,
The doctors here would just about Botox my whole body,
Ain’t nothing descent to expose, just maybe fair at best,
So what can be Indecent when it’s like all the rest.
Judge said, never heard that argument . Clerk this case is closed
I agree with the defendant there’s nothing to expose
However In the future please be more discreet,
And Don’t be waving that flag of yours out there on the street,

New Poetry by Tom E Leftwich
Also reminds me of the time when President Johnson saw fit to show us all his appendectomy (?) scar right on mainstream media and got away with it. Believe me, the closer one gets to the end, the less modestly means. But in this case, it means laughing all the way to the bank.
