I can deal with aging don’t mind how it slows you down Even as if Every step could be your last.
As an aside, while driving How many truths are revealed In the mind field concealed As your driving
Passing an old man with a cane Who stopped to spit on the sidewalk Don’t judge, I tell myself, Sometimes, if I’m being truthful I hate aging and the aged Present company included
And that is why Jane Fonda is my hero
Who really knows what goes on in anyone’s mind I think while I’m driving.
My friend has early Alzheimer’s Can’t even spell the word So I think I’ll text her a joke today I think better of it My joke goes like this Maybe you’ve heard it. Betty White said it. “My mother always said. You don’t get older. You just get better. Unless, of course, you’re a banana” Ha, ha Yeah, then I think Is it possible she’ll think I’m calling her a banana. Makes me wonder Would I ever call anyone a banana I don’t know Maybe, if it fits Could I be accused of yellow journalism By some banana loving lunatic Who thinks I’m sick, sick, sick
I had an ex-mother-in-law Who passed over a while ago While she was here The very epitome of decorum If it were a different age She wouldn’t have married She’d be home at nine Do what your told, behave See where I’m going So proper, so refined So tell me why At the end of her life She spewed the most egregious slurs To make the most prudent Sunday school teacher blush. Maybe she was a secret lush.
What pretty dirt Is swept under that Pretty Persian rug What silk coat does righteousness wear I swear What does purity dismiss
And that’s why Jane Fonda is my hero Will somebody please turn up the heat It’s like subzero In here.
