Magnus was getting older,
Lost his muse for poems,
His family decided,
"He needs a nursing home"

Magnus seemed quite happy,
Bed baths by young sweet girls,
Some with low cut dresses,
With lovely blond hair curls.

They fed him gourmet meals,
Had a lovely garden view,
Gave him crayons to color with,
Always things to do.

The nurses noticed Magnus,
If left for any time,
Would start to lean righ over,
So they'd lean him straight in line.

He'd lean out to the left,
They'd straighen him and then,
He'd lean off to the right,
They'd set him straight again.

His family came to visit,
Asked how he liked the "home"
He answered with frustration,
Which started with a moan.

"I've only one complaint,
My stomach's growing fast,
The nurses here won't let me,
Lean out to pass the gas."

I'm so sorry to hear that our Mag-nanimous One is now living in a Nursing Home.

If you could kindly give me the address, I'll "fly" by and give him a healing hug!

P.S.
Oh, and regarding his little problem, would you please tell him that Earth Angel says "and this too shall pass"!
