Protection
"Young child"
As mother's will do
In my shoe
Was a dime
To call from a payphone
If out
Past my time
"Teenager"
In my wallet
A ******
Tucked neatly away
With the hope
Some young girl
Would invite me to play
No luck
On that though
As the ****** expired
Wore a ring
In the leather
New wallet acquired
"Old man"
Protection remains
In my wallet today
It never expires
Never throw it away
I just changed the brand
No more Trojan for me
Imodium now
When you're old, you'll agree
I wish this wasn't true.
