Ugly Old Men
UGLY OLD-MEN--Claire Their muscles are sinew, their faces sag their cheeks become Jowly. Thin, frail,-- skeletal, Fat hanging over their belts, Precedeing them thru doorways. Hair, thin -- nonexistent Eyes, lost in sagging folds of flesh, Legs, sinew, sticks, sans muscle Teeth, too large for shrunken faces and stained, or false. Yuck -UGLY. No thankyou.	Johns response to ugly old men UGLY OLD MEN Once they were charmers, Hair dark, a twinkle,a smile in the eye These guys pushing walkers down hospital corridors.. . Once they were sought after, attentive to your every need. charmed to make your aquaintance, These guys pushing walkers Life passing them by, erasing their loved ones, -- outliving, out-loved. These guys pushing walkers They shuffle along. Ugly thoughts, dad. Sorry! (Parodied after yours, Claire) See the John B. Moss' version on His page

Ugly Old Men
UGLY OLD-MEN--Claire
Their muscles are sinew,
their faces sag
their cheeks become Jowly.
Thin, frail,-- skeletal,
Fat hanging over their belts,
Precedeing them thru doorways.
Hair, thin -- nonexistent
Eyes, lost in sagging folds of flesh,
Legs, sinew, sticks, sans muscle
Teeth, too large for shrunken faces
and stained, or false.
Yuck
-UGLY.
No thankyou.

Johns response to ugly old men
UGLY OLD MEN
Once they were charmers,
Hair dark, a twinkle,a smile in the eye
These guys pushing walkers
down hospital corridors..
. Once they were sought after,
attentive to your every need.
charmed to make your aquaintance,
These guys pushing walkers
Life passing them by,
erasing their loved ones,
-- outliving, out-loved.
These guys pushing walkers
They shuffle along.
Ugly thoughts, dad. Sorry!
