OLD:


It is loose, it jiggles, it flaps & it wiggles,

It aint hard no more & heads for the floor,

Uttered it prattles, when gnarled it rattles,

It´s creased & crinkled & ever so wrinkled,

It´s lined & floppy & it gets ever so stroppy,

Going yellow & grey & it´s forgotten to play,

In each step it shuffles & in word it muffles,

Thin, silver & stringy - now what´s that thingy?

It´s about forgetting it all & it all starts to pall,

The Zimmer-doddering man, where he once ran,

Now not hearing & seeing, yet forever peeing,

No longer the young, brave & bold, merely old.
