Is Lora explaining about HER age?
She should don a robe and be a sage,
.…living out her last days in a dark cave,
telling pilgrims how THEY should behave!
If no pilgrims arrive seeking truth at times,
Lora can continue writing lovelorn rhymes,
tallying up age spots on her old hand-backs,
or researching [on Google] “Heart Attacks”.
She thinks that she’s lost all her old friends.
L’s so mixed up; they’ve not met their ends!
They’re still alive, but she thinks they died,
and, nights, on her pillow Lora has cried. : (
Once ‘twas “no lover” which drew tears …
from her eyes.Now this![So many years…
have passed since she was young and gay.
I mean “gay” in the …‘old-fashioned’ way.]
My Advice:
Lora, keep your chin up, with its hairy mole.
Watch your weight; spurn sweets; eat sole!
Hair now grey & thin?It WILL be worse, as,
soon you’ll experience the bald-head curse.
