Sonnet 80 -- Been There, Done That


Sonnet 80 -- Been There, Done That

Don’t doubt I know of all my great sweet luck
Income and insurance make El Dorado
About survival I don’t give a fuck
I know that Granny won’t win the Lotto
Looking back, I see a path full of mud
My slogging footsteps lead up to this point
Measured in tears and lost menstrual blood
Oh, forgive me for TMI, my Dear
But now my mantra is: Avoid Pitfalls
Old Women need not be sad and lonely
To concentrate on daily shit balls
And cling to life as we get more homely
This is the way life is supposed to be
Not trying to be young at sixty-three
