- Changes
-
- Sat down once a year ago and
thought about my life.
- Tried to figure out the answer to
what I'd asked my wife.
-
- The question was a simple one, not
fraught with need for thought.
- She just raised her eyebrow to me,
listening like she ought.
-
- Well anyway, you see my question
came from what I heard
- when I picked a pair of glasses to
read the written word.
-
- With these glasses on my face it
revealed my aging fear.
- The salesman said "Sir, we've got
a senior discount here."
-
- That's when growing older hit me,
like a ton of bricks.
- Asked my wife the question, "Can
an old dog learn new tricks?"
-
- After giving me the eyebrow
zinger, with a glance
- she kissed me and said,
"Darlin'
- don't you need some brand new
pants?"
