Ageing

               Ageing

Is that resemblance which the camera took
The truth?  Is that reflection in the glass
Me?  I believe it can’t be.  I don’t look
Like some old ugly man lacking class
Completely, do I?  I suspect a plot.
I smell an islamist terrorist cell.
It’s built a bomb that makes me look like snot
With wrinkles, one that makes me look like hell
When I approach a mirror, or a snap
Is taken of me.  Or they’ve asked Allah
To jinn me up and make me look like crap,
Someone Linda Lovelace couldn’t swallah.
..I think I’d rather be dead, not alive,
….To looking like a man who’s eighty-five.
