Arrived

 I feel as though I’ve arrived. No longer just someone who abuses the senior discount at fast food restaurants…no longer a mere token old guy…now I am a bonafide senior citizen.   

 Each morning I wash down my plethora of pills with a glassful of Meta-Muscil. 

 Without doubt this represents the high point of all lows, the ultimate sign of old age. 

 Although…on the up side…all that fiber adds definition and character to my excrement. 

For sure, character is a virtue to which one should aspire.

If I may speak with tongue in cheek

The meaning of life we strive to seek

With bowels so weak and future bleak

It is all enough to make me shriek

I am aware it is not chic

To let such information leak

Iambic pentameter is total Greek

‘cause this bad writing needs a tweak

Yours truly

a hopeless geek
