Still

Still got my teeth.

Can still stand up

Putting my pants on.

I would still rather

Be me than anyone else.

Well – maybe a younger me!

I still have all my

Faculties – until somebody

Tells me different.

AND I can still remember

The stuff that I learnt

For my psychology degree.

I would still rather

Write poetry

Than do anything else!
