The Older Man Than Me Poem by Francis Duggan

A stronger, fitter and a healthier man is the older man than me
He still competes in half marathons at the age of seventy three
His lover in her early forties she loves her older man
Though the difference in their ages is a thirty years time span
A virile gray haired fellow full of the zest for life
A seven times grandfather divorced by his long time wife
Discovering his affair with the younger one did nothing for her pride
He has paid the price as most men do for his bit on the side
A healthy man the sexual drive in him is far from dead
He does not need cialis or viagra as most men his age do to prove himself in bed
With his younger lover at the local pub he drinks and dance all night
The ticks of time him yet to slow of age he does make light
He never talks about his past years to him the past is history
He makes the most out of the now the older man than me.
