Down On His Luck

My friend Peter has had a shock
With wild tremors electrifying,
He has had a mild heart attack
Which was really so petrifying.
 
He now must respectfully beware
And have an extra personal care;
He does drink and smoke a lot
Where it now sets in its evil rot.
 
He is being studied for sad dementia,
A prospect he really does not savour,
He doesn’t want irrational behaviour
To personally affect when he’s older.
 
He accepts he is getting old
But he will still boldly scold
And have subordinates told
When being loud and proud.
 
He has a sad vulnerability
To Julie, Mustard and me,
And rides a mobility-scooter
With every drunken departure.
 
No matter how much he gets
He’s always been sadly poor,
He has lots of sinful regrets
But has so known the score.
