Boot+Kitty=Poetry in motion

                         The privileges I shall enjoy when I finally reach my prime,
                         Will include behaving as I choose just about any time.
                         I'll throw rocks at puppy dogs, and chase cats when I please,
                         Everyone will let me do it, when I'm 93.

                         When I go out with my grand kids, I'll sit wherever I want,
                         I'll order three, no, four desserts from fancy restaurants.
                         I'll not pee in my new Depends, I'll use the nearest tree,
                         Everyone will let me do it, when I'm 93.

                         I'll ogle all the frisky girls and grin at them with gums,
                         I'll get sponge baths from pretty nurses anytime I want.
                         I'll pinch their bottoms, say I got ‘em, and they'll not scold me,
                         Everyone will let me do it, when I'm 93.

                         I'll go for long and aimless walks in the middle of the night,
                         I'll get rides home in police cars, but that will be alright.
                         Because they'll know I've not far to go, and that's OK with me,
                         Everyone will let me do it, when I'm 93.

                         I'll have young nurses say, "Good night," and kiss on my forehead,
                         I'll say I am scared of the dark, would they tuck me in my bed?
                         If they do this I'll steal a kiss, and cackle out in glee,
                         Everyone will let me do it, when I'm 93.

                         I'll the turn the TV up real loud when commercials are being run,
                         And then pretend I can't hear a sound just to have some fun.
                         I'll surf  the shows in slow mo, and control the TV screen,
                         Everyone will let me do it, when I'm 93.

                         In a few more years I'll be even worse and drive everybody mad,
                         I'll be a real hellion, having more fun than I've ever had.
                         I'll be a poster child of Gramps-gone-wild, and use all of my tricks,
                         Just like our Balladeer does now, but when I'm 96.

Oh goodness...do you and Balladeer
have a duel going?  
I need to catch up on this,

LJA,
I see you're planning on being a sexy senior citizen...but you forgot the pureed peas and the regular toileting in public and the five oclock bedtimes.
Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

This is very well done.

Just had to do it, didn't ya? Couldn't get through a poem without taking a cheap shot at the Balladeer? Here I was enjoying your wit and you attack me again. Fortunately for you, I am not a man who believes in retribution or speaking ill of others so I shall let this go as a man of class and distinction would do. Yeah, right!! You're DEAD MEAT!!!!
