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
