The Ageing Protest

my feets are getting bigger
wider, with added knobbles

the belly well the belly
jellied with the excess
fatty of liver, flowering of spleen

my ear has getting harrier
plumper of lobe and much afluff

see how my worms have come twisted

knees are shot and hips are shocked
but that's no death sentence

and the old chewing gum is missing
storeys, whole lost whorls

but my wrists remain as delicate
as those of a virgin princess
