The Snold Has
Grown Old
(loosely following
"The Cat in the Hat")
The Snold Has
Grown Old
So old it's not
funny
He lives in a
place
Where the sun is
not sunny
He and his friends
Are much older
than dirt
They no longer
smile and
they no longer
flirt
Too old to take
hikes
Too old to ride
bikes,
They can't get
around to the
places they like,
He yells at the
kids
to stay off of the
grass
The Snold doesn't
move
he just sits on
his ass,
He sits round all
day,
Yes he sits,
sits,
sits,
sits,
Not like old
Myrtle,
Who still likes to
knit.
Then something
goes BLAM
like a battering
ram
He feels it
His knees have
gone out on him
Wham!
Bursitis,
Arthritis, Tinnitus
and more
He no longer feels
like
himself anymore.
Lucky for him there
is one saving grace
He'll soon lose
his mind
And get outta this
place.
I don't usually like old-age humor. This is clever and funny. Thanks, Patti.

DeleteIf we have to get old, we may as well laugh at ourselves Gerald. It's the only thing left, our humour.
