Poetry Month: Grab Bag Surprise

Age

What a wonderful thing
are adaptable waistbands,
when one's waist refuses to adapt.

Though I used to be,
in my younger days
(I won't say how long ago that was),
a police officer,
it has been a good long time
since I have been more than a grandpa.

Perhaps, I think,
as I watch my grandbabies,
perhaps, being a grandpa is
a better utilization of me.
