On Ageing
(Acorn Magazine)
Age muddles the mind they say.
Enjoy making sunshine in the hay.
Leap before looking into a basket of eggs.
Catch those unhatched chickens, count their legs.
A wise pound beats a foolish penny, I’d say.
A glasshouse and a pile of stones makes my day.
Leaping before thinking I find sublime.
Remember, nine stitches saves a lot of time.
