Born in desperate years of yore,
Treading down the life’s parabolic shore,
Age began to show the oldie older,
Squeezing steadily his figure n’ vigor    

Whirling memories whispering
Trampling tempers whimpering
Limping movements hampering  
Deteriorating organs’ pampering

Neither conjugal aid
Nor congenial maid
Either congenital raid
Or conjunctional braid

Torment of the dragging years
Accent of the nagging fears
Advent of the painful tears
Fervent of last love of dears

Ordained ordeal of orderly life,
Worsened sneaking wrinkles,
Creeks and cracks etching deeper,
Life after all, is a withering leaf.

Passing through the moments
Of the daunting dauntless days
The ultimate minute is not too far
To call it a day any day by far
And bounce back to the code of abode
