LIFT YOUR EYES

i find myself at that ripe age
when things begin to break
and some replace those damaged parts
with items that are fake

i understand the reason
when we're talking heart or knee
but when it's just an ego trip
i tend to disagree

i do not care about my hair
it's fine if it goes gray
and if i lose it ? what the heck
i won't buy a toupee

perhaps i may grow chubby
have some liposuction ? not !
i'll simply buy a larger size
than previously bought

do i need some viagra ?
not right now, perhaps next year
and if no elevation
i shall just retire my gear

although my eyes get weaker
reading glasses give me sight
i don't need guys with scalpels
cutting things to make things right

i will not tuck my tummy
lest it's down inside my pants
i may not look athletic
but i guess i'll take that chance

some strive to look much younger
but it's time they realize
don't hire someone to lift your face
just simply lift your eyes
