For most of the people I know,
Our
ages are starting to show
And
since eyes, hips and knees
Don’t
come with warranties,
To
replace them’s the best way to go.
Thus,
for cataracts or the main joints,
Pain
or blurriness usually points
To
a doctor who will
Send
a Medicare bill
When
a new lens or bone he anoints.
Just
like houses and care, things wear out
And
it isn’t enough just to pout.
Let
the surgeon repair
What
needs fixing, so there
Will
be years left to gambol about.
