The Solstice passed in a warm summer’s breeze
Daylight shrinks like an unwatered plant.
Summers of youth! Towheads with dirty knees
Why does time our youth supplant?
Now it’s golf, sun screen and hats,
Water bottles and Gatorade.
Diets devoid of evil trans fats!
Sprayed-on tans promised not to fade.
Dye my hair or get a Botox shot?
Morning pills and evening elixirs
Waking up at night for a trip to the pot.
Sigh, I guess it’s time for vodka and mixers.
Would I trade years of laughter to be younger yet?
Not on my life, not on a bet!
