For S.S., M.B., and J.?.
Sure, pouches and wrinkles abound—
Some evil, some neutral, some sound.
For young kangaroos, pouches warm,
Give shelter from life’s prickly thorns.
And Wrinkles in Time might deploy
Events that would generate joy.
Those pouches that form under eyes,
Could signal impending demise.
And wrinkles that pop out on brows
Attest to the strain of life’s vows.
But pouches and wrinkles in guts
Maliciously drive people nuts—
Cause flaming pain. Diagnosis?
Acute diverticulosis!
