Fountain of Youth

This is in honor of my grandchildren. I love you so much!

Don't tell me there isn't a Fountain of Youth,

Don't be so callous, uncouth!

Don't wrangle or dangle a big yellow carrot

I won't fall for the tale of un-truth!

 

I know for a fact the Fountain exists

I was wrapped up inside its contents.

It roared through the house like tornado's a' twist

Upending all with its grit!

 

A twirl in a storm, a whirl with its charm

Consumed this lady of will

Extracting, exuding and eating away

I'm telling you, it won't stand still!

 

The cabinets went boom, the fridge all ajar

From the Fountain in search of its prey

A bottomless pit, two feet in a flit

And toys in random display!

 

The dog went berserk and growled at the moon

As the Fountain spewed all over the room.

The TV blared, the computer went nuts

And I simply stared àit spelled doom.

 

Oh yes, my friend, I'm telling the truth

There is a Fountain of Youth

I may not be able to drink a liquid of gold

But the Fountain is certainly bold.

 

It yells and it screams and laughs out loud

And it dances in rhythms of sound

It sings and it plays with the joys of day

And I'm telling you, it came my way.

 

The Fountain of Youth really exists

It's not just a myth or a lie

It lives by the power of Youth, don't you know

I've put it in bold it's à GRANDKIDS!!!

"Fountain of Youth" is a wit-wise composition with the aroma of love and blissful living.

I have enjoyed the reading of this poetic beauty.

I salute You, Sublime Poet.
