Dropping off?
well
there's not much of me left to go
a bit mutton-jeff but that's just age
dontya know,
everything else is in place
and
although my face looks like
the tracks at Clapham Junction,
mostly
I function
like a well-oiled machine,

but
it takes it out of you
when everyone shouts at you
I
must get a hearing aid.
