Bah!
Getting older *****
with all the aches and pains
and worries about growths
and tumours,
cancers and heart failure
my prostrate is fine,
thank you very much,
but can you check this mole?
this pain, this ache?
this over impending sense
of mortality knocking at the door?
the late night harrowing
discoveries guaranteeing
no sleep
until a call to the doctor,
the cutting back on everything
while increasing vitamin intake
exercise, stress free times
for self reflection
and discovery of ailments
and illnesses, inducing stress
increasing heart rate,
needing a drink to calm down
but not too much, as the liver
has already suffered enough
the days advance into night
and the night advances to day
and before you know it
it the sun sets one last time
