(Poem) The Fountain of Youth Athletic Retirement Home

More about (Poem) The Fountain of Youth Athletic Retirement Home

It's Track & Field Day here at Fountain of Youth.
We're short on wind and we're long in the tooth.
My body fat index is three quarters bone.
The teeth in my mouth may not be my own.

But I’m proud to say I remain athletic.
Despite my double hip prosthetic,
Caregivers here insist that I play
Tennis and hockey twice every day,

And football, dodgeball, golf, and trapeze,
Regardless of bunions and arthritic knees.
I've got a six-pack no oldster should sport.
At basketball I dribble, both on- and off-court.

At darts I'm a wizard - cataracts, my ass!
(That bullseye in Bill's eye was my first... and my last.)
I lost my hearing aid last week in the pool.
Can't hear a thing now and probably you'll

Think it's a waste of your dollars in tax
Keeping this old broad, but here are the facts:
Prepare to keep paying - I'm not gonna lie.
I'll be around forever cause I'm too tired to die.
