Topic: HumorPoetry



If you're old and enfeebled and losing your mind,
if you're balding and fat and partially blind,
if your bones are all brittle and your teeth are all plastic,
if your skin is all dry and has lost its elastic,
if your bladder is stuffed and your lungs are all weak,
if your kidneys are shot and you cant take a leak,
if your spleen isn't doing - whatever spleens do,
if your veins are all clogged and the blood can't get through,
if your heart's barely pumping and your hearing is failing,
if you're all out of breath from simply exhaling,
then maybe it's time you crawled into bed
'cause like it or not, you're better off dead!!
