   /// It was thoughtful of you to remember

   my birth day (twenty-first of December).

   Glad that verses I write,

   in some readers ignite

   some enjoyment from my glowing ember.

   /// “There’s no Santa? That’s just what I feared

   when my wife said that I had been weird

   to have gained all this weight.

   I thought prospects were great

   for old fat guys who have a white beard.”

   /// Dutch Jan Lievens made this Study of

   a Man Looking Up. What is above

   the horizon that led

   to such dumbfounded dread?

   What he sees isn’t something to love.

   /// He’s in darkness, but facing bright light.

   Is he lit by whatever’s in sight?

   Has an army’s advance

   made him mess up his pants?

   All we know is that something ain’t right.

   /// After menopause, pregnancy’s done.

   That’s when no-risk lovemaking’s begun.

   (If you don’t count VD,

   or perhaps adult-ry.)

   Senior showers shared? Just good clean fun.

   /// Fewer birthdays than it would appear

   has he marked in his journey to here.

   Born on the last day

   of Feb-roo-air-ay,

   in the fifteenth most recent leap year.

   /// Just the color of their bathroom walls

   make him shudder as Darrell recalls

   how his grandma would go

   down to where gramps hung low

   and, with arthritic hands, cup his balls.

   /// If an old fiddle had been well made,

   it should often be handled and played.

   It will vibrate with joy

   from the strokes you employ.

   Do not leave it where it was last laid.

   /// His reflection would leave him unnerved,

   so from mirrors he usually swerved.

   Much like Schröedinger’s cat,

   neither this state nor that.

   He stays ageless (until he’s observed).

    /// In his mind he has not aged a day.

    How he looked in his youth he could stay

    if he never took chances.

    Never stealing some glances

    at these mirrors of Dorian Gray.
