In the twinkle of an eye,
Life's sweet youth has passed me by.
Gone for all eternity
Those days of endless revelry.
Flickering pleasures and carnal delights
I've burned on the pyre with pompous rites.
Casting aside nights wildly spent,
I've mellowed humbly in contentment.
Settled into an easy chair
And drifted off
To who knows where.
