ANTIQUE PHYSIQUE

ANTIQUE PHYSIQUE

Roger A. Davis

I'm long past my peak
On the slippery slope side
Of mellow and meek

Not so much hair
Eyes are weak
Bifocals adorn my physique

Always saying, "Pardon me"
Volume button abuser
Hearing not what it used to be

Teeth, filled and crowned
A lot of silver colored metal
A lightning rod ground?

Crows feet and double chin
Connect the dots old age spots
I'm an antique has been

Read this far and depressed?
Go ahead and finish
This is aging's home address

Aches, pains and replacements
In/of our body parts
Alternate, the stoppage of our hearts

So celebrate with me
Medicare, Plan A and B
And being a legal druggy
