The old man needed
Changing diapers
Often,
But his wife of fifty years
Left him to join
Heaven,
Though unwilling, she had
To go,
Leaving a helpless being
Struggling,
A nurse now does it
Changing diapers,
For money
But every time she does it
He weeps within,
A diaper is so thin,
It needs changing time
And again.
