To look young, what all tools have we! <br />Greyed hairs turn jet balck and we see <br />An younger face but wrinked and skinny, <br />Double chin too vandalise and add to your misery. <br /> <br />Facials you can do, so too you can apply cream, <br />Ads in jounals entice you, reaping more and more reams, <br />Presenting before you models for you to, of dream, <br />Beauty parlors, too many, to keep you seemingly on stream. <br /> <br />Myself greying fast and chin too slowly doubling, <br />At fifty two, look older I, but surely not balding, <br />A little child calls me grandpa and my wife aunty, <br />Somewhere it pricks, but takes it in my stride, as paltry. <br /> <br />Staying young and looking young is good and surely a boon, <br />Days and months fly fast as, April, May and June. <br />Keep your heart young, play and exult like a baboon, <br />Dress well, eat well and behave well and be never akin to <br />a bafoon.<br /><br />Narayanan Ramakrishnan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stay-young-3/
