DEMS AND DOES

The world is full of dems and does,

Of prima donnas and their beaus,

Of princely men who pick their nose

And gals with manicured red toes.

It’s filled with coffee lovers grinds,

Cigarette butts and makeup's slime;

Of men and women past their prime,

Primping , polishing all the time,

Dodging old aged paradigm.
It’s filled with vintage concubine,

With memories waxing asinine;

Of former lovers... dems and does;

Of ladies naturally wrinkled hose.
It’s filled with sagging cookie breasts

Dentured smiles and all the rest;

Shuffled walks and silver canes,

Flaccid flesh that now abstains.
It’s filled with windowed aging eyes

That hovering cloud of death defies.

The world is filled with dems and does

All were once Lotharios,

Princely men who picked their nose,

Gals with manicured red toes.
