The Spark !

Old age comes upon you

like a creeping weed or vine

a subtle early warning

that you're running out of time

 

When we realized it had us

firmly in its grip

we decided to go fighting

so we really let it rip:

 

No more early nights

sipping tea and watching telly;

we bought the 'Kama Sutra'

and really gave it welly !

 

We cruised out to Australia

it cost a bit of wonga

but on the dance floor every night

guess who led the Conga !

 

Our wardrobe was updated;

no more granny pants or macs

but though we tried to both wear thongs

we lost them up our cracks !

 

Now we're quite exhausted

financially as well

but the spark has been ignited

and death can go to Hell !
