Old

Once you're old and decrepit
your sex life turns quite tepid,
you're like an old car,
won't get very far,
your headlights are dim,
your energy slim,
your horn sounds dull,
your controls go haywire
inside your skull,
in your arteries deposits are stocked
and your exhaust is blocked,
your old body turns into scrap tin,
can't even trade it in.
