Two Aging  Friends

Let us spend the day together.

We can talk about the weather.

We can chat ‘bout prices rising…

if we’re good at exercising!

We’ll compare our failing health

and fret about our dwindling wealth.

We’ll fuss about the world condition—

Guess the world’s gone to Perdition!

We can wonder how life ends.

And look back on our years as friends.

There’s nothing I would rather do

than spend this pleasant day with you.
