Wearing Out

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.
