Decrepitude

My hair is greying

and I can’t quite hear what you are saying

My farts are getting older

My heart is growing colder

What I once called inspirational

when sensation was sensational

I now turn the same cold shoulder

I will be turning in my grave

Once I was brave

Once I was a seeker

Now I’m as meek as a lamb

Once I had attitude

From now on it’s decrepitude.
