written in the double rhyming method used in “The Ancient Mariner”

Elise (Yagen) at 27


Oh, dear heaven, you're 27
How did the years go by?
And it is true, I'm 62
Oh my the time does fly.

We cling to youth, but in all truth
We age cause time won't stay
But marches on, soon youth is gone
Some day we must make way

But now I see, you've great beauty
You're full of vim and verve
So fill your cup and drink it up
Throw time a changeup curve.
