in no great shape

at my age

on downward slope

but still alive

like this page

where there's hope

 or so they say

a will a way

clichés are clichés

'cos they tend to be true

trust all

this doesn't come to a bad end

as limp wimp

 needing to scrimp

for the rest

am on a quest

to be a palimpsest
