An old man's allegory




Tripped in a ford albeit of a club
Grey  beard fellow ,shriveled by time
Screamed and shrieked on nature’s timely drub
For the days ahead it’s just a stime 







 Forlorn old man striving on the lane
Croesus wealth, inept  to heal
Ephebe in past ,now life is a bane
In search of repose ,Croesus appeal

 Algid waves greeted with a scowl
 Effete cartilage shudders in fleece
Fastened life ,like a trapped fowl
With a glimpse  she weeps , dear cantatrice     

 Crutches and staff  inutile  to assist
A long known marathoner
Feeble to hold one morsel in a fist
 O Delphic Apollo save the fellow
 and arrest the  batterer
