Who Could Ask For Anything More...

Who Could Ask For Anything More


Me features are old, even weathered,
I’ve a body that’s not what it’s been;
me skin is not soft - it’s all wrinkled:
like worn boots that could do with a clean.

Me hair isn’t long, black and curly,
and the eyeballs don’t focus too well;
I’ve a nose that can no longer sniff right:
when it finds something smashing to smell.

Me lips, which were warm, soft and tender,
giving kisses that broke maidens’ hearts;
are now used for sucking on wine gums:
iced lollies and soft apple tarts.

Broad shoulders and strong arms have wilted,
and the chest - now devoid of black hair;
looks more like the back of a busted commode:
that has lost all its glamour and flair.

The firm knees that I used to court on,
have turned into strange knobbly lumps;
and calves that allowed me to chase the birds:
have alas - thinned to funny thin stumps.

Strong feet that at one time kicked footballs,
the length of a pitch - and some more;
now groan at the thought of being put down:
side by side on the living room floor.

But despite all the problems I’m having,
with bits - that aren’t always on call;
I can’t help but smile when considering:
I’m lucky to be here at all.

****************

It could be your turn next....

Fantastic!

Your recent (or not so recent) poems have stirred up the muse in me - she visited at 2am this morning!

I have the beginnings of a poem and hope the rest will follow some time today.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Good work, Rob.

You'll have to get yourself a website! See where things take you.

Thanks Knight...

Ohhh - a website... Don't know about going that far... Wrote a book once, but couldn't get it published... Bit too avant-garde for that time of that era me'thinks...

Maybe in another lifetime... Hopefully, I've still a few in hand...
