Body

So then,

Listen body, you and me,
It’s time we had a chat,
I’m noticing some changes,
And I don’t like where we’re at.

Quite without my really noticing
You’ve improvised a lot,
Now I’m going to say this
Loud and clear….
I want it all to stop!

Just leave the skin,
It’s getting thin,
And focus on the eyes,
They’re focusing quite poorly,
Oh,
Let’s not forget the thighs.

There is no need to emphasise
My slightly saggy bum,
It’s a blessing it’s behind me,
Throw a desperate girl a crumb!

Desist with all this aging
It’s a rotten thing to do,
I’m asking for a break here,
Just remember, I am you!
