One crack was all it took
And
Life as you knew it flew away to return never
Fits replace early morning kisses from your lover
The smell of fresh air from morning walks gone forever
Replaced by whiffs of unpleasantness from your excreta
Now that you have nappies
In place of g-strings
You are left with memories of when you gave a good lecture
Because your mumblings are a new matter
The unbearable yearn to hold a cup of tea
That is just right there and not for a fee
Your flock of friends are over
With no thoughts for their other
If only you can remember
Having good times in days former
But wait, you never had good times in winter, autumn, spring or summer
For the past twenty five odd years you wander
Through seconds, minutes and from hour to hour
Barely living day to day in order
To chase one work or the other
But now that your head remains in the grips of this malady forever
You wish you had more fun living from January to December
That you had more fun with your hours
But now it’s too late
As a crack has torn all asunder
A travesty you never thought you’d suffer
