Coming
of Aging
I’m not questioning Mother Nature deciding
That the zipper of my favorite jeans parting
Is the result to my refusal of publicly farting
Father
Time’s clock's jingling, its hand landing
On where my body temp starts its constant revising
Between suddenly dropping and suddenly rising
Miss
Clairol’s been looking more and more inviting
‘Cause not a word you say will be convincing
When the grays come in packs, I’ll be rinsing
Elastic
is my friend while I’m weighting
And I carry a fan or a cloth for wiping
I’m content for now to cease my griping
I’m
in no way catering to the act of aging
I’m simply deciding that the act of coping
Is more favoring to me than the act of moping
