the rusty knight
Well toned body and muscles in abundance.
He could take any opponent to the ground.
Her physical appearance was her feminine hook.
You could tell by the names in your little black book
I could walk in and with just one look
Pick or Discard Tight Female Pants
He was a hunk, oh yes indeed
That’s what made his love life successful.
But that was years ago
And times change as we all know
What once made ladies’ eyes sparkle
Now it has turned into sagging and wrinkles.
Her body was once a female necessity
But times change as we’ve discussed
Flabby and scruffy and downright pathetic
Should we dismiss or be understanding?
In his day there was another type
Charming, sincere and witty.
A quick thinker to some and smart to a few.
He was handsome, of course, and always managed.
He was a thinker and always sincere.
Brave and daring like Paul Revere
Personality and individuality baited his hook.
He didn’t mind having a black book
He sought to share everything with one
A special woman who loved life and a good play on words.
He was particular, oh yes indeed
She was essential for his life to be successful.
Times would change, this I knew
Although positive, he would manage
But time makes personality and charm expand.
To strengthen the vows of a wedding ring
The moral here should be pretty clear.
Don’t be fooled by what is today and near
Open your heart wide to perceive the distance
Do it every day and with persistence.
Or to put it another way
Every man in this world has his plight
Some are in it just for the fight.
But it goes on indefinitely both day and night.
This mad race for the one who is right
Step into the present now and look around you.
And find out what this writer has found
Time strengthens a wedding vow
Don’t ask me why or how
Just look at the old couples of years
Those who have shared the pain and tears
As they sit quietly rocking their chairs together
Through the storms and the sun of loving weather
Every beat of your heart is for her
And that has made their life together last
His eyes, though aged, are wiser than ever.
She’s been through all kinds of loving weather
His armor lacks luster when he enters permanent night.
But she’ll always love her rusty knight
