47. With apologies to Larkin

What do they think they're doing, the old fools
in their quest to stay young? Do they somehow suppose
that the dye in their hair and botoxed brows look cool
or Pilates will prevent them pissing themselves? Or if they choose
they can stay up all night on Viagra?
Do they really think there has been no change
and they'll always sail through life living the dreaming?
If they can, and they do, it's strange,
why aren't WE screaming!
