What Animal lasts Longer than Me,
now I’m almost Seventy-three?
Still few Days until that Date,
“Geezer Mind” just could not Wait.
Two Hundred Years in Artic Waters,
quite a Span for Sons and Daughters.
Greenland Shark – Bowhead Whales,
living longer Head to Tails.
Red Sea Urchins looking Sharp,
a Koi fish – a Kind of Carp.
Long range Planning – Have no Fears,
they Will last Two Hundred Years.
The longest living Vertebrate,
Tortoise moves to Illustrate,
A Hundred Plus won’t Get you Down,
though Live and Tote your house Around.
Then a Type of Jellyfish,
can live Long as they might Wish.
Cycle Grown to Baby Stage,
perpetuate to any Age.
An Animal – So am I,
compare Myself to Them and Why,
Select the Age that Gives me Glee,
drop the Seven – just use Three.
