Jerry-Rigging

Our bodies work just like machines

Without a warranty.

To know how long each part may last

We have to wait and see.

 

Certain joints may need replacing

And, through surgery or meds,

Organs may require assistance

So we’re not stuck in our beds.

 

As we age we may not be prepared

To face the well-known fact

That in older bodies, all the parts

Do not remain intact.

 

Thus we jerry-rig the wires

And replace the triple A’s,

Hoping that will be enough to help

Extend our waning days.
