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.
