Crusty Codgers

Crusty Codgers
Come in pairs:
Always the lift
Never the stairs.

Some like satin
Others munch cheese:
They’re all wishing
For brand new knees.

They eat early.
Love to sleep late.
Few are skinny.
Most must lose weight.

Crusty Codgers
They’re at the mall,
Walking in circles
Trying to get small.

Food court gets ‘em
When they need a break:
Hot dogs, pizza
Then a milk shake.

Then back to the grind
Round and round;
Mall rats on the move
Stressing each pound.

Crusty Codgers
Forget to smile.
Tip the waitress?
That’s not their style.
