Speak for Yourself, She Said

If I were seventeen and you were forty,

My thoughts would be immoderately naughty.

But you're seventy-four, I'm fifty-one;

We're both too tired to think of having fun.

I appreciate the cliche aspect of this poems message, and it is a very neat little poem that makes One smile at reading. BUT, on a personal note, I beg to differ about desire and the ability experience it's fruition - even though I concede the energy levels decrease with advancing years. Ehem...I'm never too old to have fun though. :)
