Mother Nature and Father Time <br />Are such a spiteful pair <br />Together they commit bad crimes <br />Of damage beyond repair <br /> <br />Like vandals they have stolen youth <br />And beauty from our lives <br />My body it now shows the truth <br />As middle age arrives <br /> <br />It’s evident in my spreading hips <br />That once was slim’s now fat <br />That pair have taken both my lips <br />And made them thin and flat <br /> <br />They’ve stolen all my copper hair <br />Just like a common thief <br />It’s all become a sad affair <br />They’ve even got my teeth <br /> <br />I must assume that Ma and Pa <br />Don’t need us to survive <br />No need to be attractive now <br />Just glad to be alive! <br /> <br />copyright Victoria George<br /><br />VICTORIA GEORGE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-nature-and-father-time/
