It's Friday and my laziness
is showing -'though it's craziness
to try and write screeds of rhyme
every night...besides, the time
escapes and suddenly I see
another week has passed -Yippee!
(I only cheer because the week-
end's here, not because I'm older)... EEK!
The way that Christmas keeps advancing
makes me want to steal those prancing
reindeer,
hide them for a year
or ten. The decades go too quickly,
I see my old and sickly
self, creeping up to lock me up
within the gaol where all the old
are disappearing, thin and cold
and greying into nothingness.
I dread that fate I must confess.

I just went off and checked some sites
that I have marked as favourites,
the horoscopes that I could find
all based downunder. I'm inclined
to read that rubbish every day
and then forget just what they say.
It's silly but it meets some need.
(I don't know what but, heck, the deed
of checking horoscopes is fun
and I can view the day that's done
from quite another point of view.)
I'm nuts but I check quite a few!
