Tattoos Poem by Paul Warren

Tattoos are the hip thing now
To ink yourself shows the know-how

Some look three-d
Peeling back the skin to see

Muscle and bone exposed
Or maybe some Chinese letters that know

Some Far Eastern Philosphy
Add some spider webs you see

And a gothic cross on the upper arm
With a heart and a lover's name with charm

But as the years go by does the charm fade
With happy faces sagging to sadness made.
