You were Old and Just gave Out,
With a Whimper not a Shout.
Now we’ve Reached that Dreaded Day,
When they Come Haul you Away.
When it’s My Time – Just like You,
Memories come into View.
Hope with You I do Compare,
Qualities of you Ensnare.
Performed great When was Turned On,
Any time including Dawn.
I was Company while you Ate,
Standing There on your Birth Date.
Entertained when needed It,
Overall I was a Hit.
Looking back on Times we Had,
Loved my Being in your Pad!
After carried Out and Gone,
There’s a Question lingers On,
Wish was There so I could See,
What it is Replacing Me?
Observation – Maybe Dour,
New Ones don’t have Staying Power!
