Letting Things Go
it's fun now
to just let things go
let it be
don't fool with it
don't fix it
let it deteriorate
go back to dirt
who cares
when you're this damn old
more fun to watch the grass grow
the paint dry
whatever it is
can wait until tomorrow
manana is a better time
when you hit this age
it don't matter no more
no emergency
no urgency
no schedule to keep
just sittin' and thinkin' is better
rest your bones
slowness is the apt propulsion
sleep the comfort of old age
i'm lettin' things go
my energy is spent
my ambition already went.

I like this - both style and content.
On the subject of the ageing process the moral is clear -
If your "get up and go" got up and went,
Relax - and consider the cost well spent.
