The Senile Past Their Sell By Date Brigade

 

~*~

 

Dedicated to the ones who wonder if they are 'past it'!

 

~*~

 

Radio ga ga they sit senile in their chairs,

Four blank walls around them, with death-like stares.

 

They are in the departure lounge, waiting for God to call,

Hallucinating about angels, and wondering what'll befall.

 

With their faculties in tatters, and almost round the twist,

No point in asking them, if they'd like a hand of whist!

 

'Age Concern' has given up, I am beyond all hope,

The angel of death is on her way with another shot of dope!

 

They are a tad past their sell by date, as anyone can see,

Commodes at the ready, and nothing to do but pee!

 

They are auditioning for Eleanor Rigby, a face in a jar by the door,

A facial expression so vacant, that even a frown is a chore.

 

Their days a continuous boring waste of time,

Life being a mere existence ridiculous to sublime!

 

They reminisce and reflect on, their many years gone by,

They want to make some sense of it, but brains are in a fry!

 

Watch the traffic lights change for entertainment, its all they can do,

Red to amber then onto green, its a pity there isn't a blue!

 

Brain dead with one foot in the wooden overcoat,

A nice shot of morphine, and off they float,

 

Until the day that God calls 'time', and invites them up to heaven,

The pearly gates are open -It'll make a change from Devon!

This is a totally humorous look at a day in the life of a poor old soul who is in their more senior of years, no offence meant! ....Just a typical Scouser (Mischievous Me!) seeing the funny side of adversity!
