you're a darling baby

so young and so hot


turning heads and loving it

in your animal youth


I remember your mother

doing the same


and even then I was a sober-sides

who saw the joke and mocked too wide


now that I know in my deepening age

we're all in hell here in the earth


I feel no different than I did in my prime

sad and sorry for the way we must be


but hot young babies reminding me

the life goes on and so does the game...
