Detritus

Workaholic, alcoholic, melancholic,

In youth there’s time for fun and frolic.

Rheumatitis, arthritis, bursitis,

As we age

They sneak up and in the ass they bite us.

From youthful pro-creation,

To aged degeneration,

The years add up - despite us!

Paton Lodge Lindsay

(Detritus – accumulations arising from fragments; broken off worn out pieces; debris)
