As the winds of time sweep across my shores,
Wrinkles and age seep into all pores.
Hands of clocks creep faster and faster,
Accompanied by illness, a cancerous disaster.
Of these that, they do attack,
My body's resistant, I thee lack.
As crumbs do assuredly fall from the table,
Aches and pain make life unstable.
Children send parents to rest homes, for the
ag-ed,
Like animals in a zoo,
All restless and Cag-ed!
