WHEN old men getter older
and their ears touch their shoulder
it may be a sign of content.
Terry Wogan and John Simpson
have ears when you glimpse them
like those on a bull elephant.
Some things don't stop growing
and there's really no knowing
what size an appendage might try.
The ears on old Wogan
are some sort of omen
if they flapped he'd probably fly.
While those on John Simpson
are less in dimension
he's still got his ear to the ground
but he may well say
it's much better that way
as you pick up the smallest of sound.
As I do grow older
I don't want my shoulder
to act as a perch for my ears.
I've only one gland
I'd like to expand.
It's the one worn down with the years.
