I, your impecunious cantankerous lummox hold the belief
that aimless ambivalence is the unsanctioned thief
of time’s tortuous thoughtless tole
on both our bodies and our souls
as we teeter on the derogatory precipice
of an age-worn, second-hand appearance
as salubrious nourishment consumption is no longer
clearly making us energetic and stronger
as my lucid cogitation is frequently truant
your impromptu carping has turned more fluent
as ostentatiously ornate make-up application
does not always generate obvious amelioration
I recommend that we immediately desist
attempting age exorcism, as it will persist
and spend our time trying to exemplify
unrestrained wisdom that may amplify
our precocious grandchildren’s positive traits
to possibly aid in attracting productive soul mates
let us replace habitual turpitude
with creative steadfast moral fortitude
let youth be wasted on the young
and hold back our critical tongue
firmly clutch our glorious dreams
of soft love under moonlight beams
of tall masted sailing ships on green seas
of cloud animals floating on the breeze
of sweet cascades of aromatic wildflowers
and distant vistas with entrancing powers
this picture postcard perfect love of ours
manufactured and kept alive in the stars
