I used to think, gee

I’m as smart as smart can be.

But now I see

I’m a lot less of a smarty

and even the smarts that used to be inside me

have sprung a leak like the sea

and are leaving quickly

and quietly.

I’m now dumbing down rather rapidly.

Oh, woest me!

Getting old stinks, don’t you agree?
