State of Denial

Joe Lewis was an old man
In denial of his age.

Desperately trying
To hang onto lost youth.

Working out
Getting buff.

Getting his hair done
Dying it just right.

Even having a face-lift
Botox treatment.

And eating right
He loved eating Salmon
With cucumber salad
Mango ice cream

And a single-malt whiskey
On the side.

Spending big bucks
On his wardrobe
Being seen with the right faces
In the right places.

And so he went to the bar
Where he tried
To pick up
Pretty young things

Who told him
Go home, Grandpa!

He went home
Still in denial
He was an old man.
