Ode to Old     When I am old-   Really really old-   And cannot see -     Red balls of rouge-   Riding-   High on my cheeks,     Black lines-   Arching-   Over my eyes,   Gravy stains covering-     Yellow flowers-   On my good blue dress.     When I am old-   And cannot see -   Will you please do-    My grooming for me?   by: Barbara A. Whittington
