Memory Box

Doesn't seem that long ago, l used to date this lad
Exciting, getting ready, with the music blaring out
Dipping into pots of sumptuous, scented, silky cream
Pulling on silk stockings, sighing, dreaming lover's dreams

Nowadays unfortunately, the rubbing-on l do
Is for pesky arthritis l have in my limbs and toe
As far as sexy lingerie goes, it's been replaced with these
Uncomfortable bandages for very dodgy knees

When we were young, if lucky, all could skip along the street
Turning, shifting, lifting stuff, it was a breeze, indeed
But older now, the heads are bent to avoid pavement trips
Wiping dribble that's escaped a dentured, sagging lip

So, in conclusion, please enjoy your every waking breath
And remember, keep this mantra with you

HEALTH IS Bloomin' WEALTH
