~ODE to OLD~

Head is spinning

Hair is thinning

Heart is racing

May need pacing

Knees are aching
Back is breaking

Body's lagging

Time is dragging

Hearing's aided
Memory's faded

Skin is sagging
Joints keep nagging

Mirrors are lying
Must be dying

The face I see
Can't be me

For in my mind
I'm far from blind

I look just like
I did the night

You told me I was beautiful!

Liar!
