All caught up!
Al is no longer limber as once he was
The reason for that condition is because
His former youthful elasticity
Is out of synchronicity
With his age-related male menopause
.
He should let Al Jr. do the climbing
The boy has better coordination timing
The ladder used holds his weight well
So that even if by accident he fell
His fall would not stress heal enzyming
.
But Al is stubborn and will not admit
His pruning skills are now miss and hit
His anger rose as he adjusts the ladder
His face puffed up like a poison adder
His eyes missed buckles on his harness fit
.
And down onto the ground he then fell
His limbs splayed out and joints did swell
At last perhaps his lesson’s learned
And son, Al, takes charge and at last earned
The business helm … how well he steers time will tell
