Facts Of Life

The facts of life, for the young, oh so natural
For most oldsters, those facts are far from factual
When eighty-plus, they barely remember
Those natural mergers with their opposite gender

Mahjong, TV, Poker and Gin, not great substitutes
For seniors, sexually destitute
This old-age frustration causes them shock
They must find a way to turn back their clock

To turn back a clock, an hour or two
Is not that difficult a turn-back to do
But to rewind years, who knows how to begin?
So back to Mahjong, TV, Poker and Gin

Passion was intended for procreation
Not simply for recreation.

When we were young it was so much fun
But the purpose was to beget a little girl or son.

It is just as well that in our waning years
The that playful skill disappears,

For parenting a child at the age of eighty
Is a task most would find far too weighty.
