ReSURGEnce

I’m off to get some tattoos,

and put dreadlocks in my hair!

I’m old enough to know my mind

and much too old to care!

Why should it just be youngsters

having all the fun and games?

I’m gonna break-dance - (if I can),

to hell with walking frames!

This growing old is for the birds,

it’s not my kinda joke,

and if Medicare don’t like my style

they can just go off and choke!

’Cos I’m cuttin’ loose from walking sticks

and shedding my bi-focals,

then heading for the skate park

where I’ll show them up, them yokels.

I’ll do a gnarly laser flip

that’ll have them in a trance.

I’ll show those kiddies skate tricks -

just give me half a chance.

(pause...heavy breathing...huffing...etc).

Maybe I’ll do that next week...

yes, maybe then I might...

Whew! Those pills the doctor gave

take me higher than a kite!
