Am I ashamed of growing old?
To ask this question I am told
should not be asked. To be so bold
to ask about my growing old
has all been studied and foretold
by ones who like to scoff and scold
and say you're at your life's threshold.

Well now I beg to disagree
because that door of age to be
so grand an opportunity
of one who is in agony
is now just a facsimile
of one too many calories.
