»Young old man«

by Thabani Ray Ngwenya

Look at me now
Still happy as he good ole days
Beer in hand
Women all around
I'm fit as a fiddle
And jovial as a lark
Maybe I am immortal

Look at me now
Still burly and sturdy
Bold and intrepid
I am a man mountain
Never will I be washed to sea
Serve for my good number of years
I am otherwise, a juvenile

Take a good long look at me
Feast your eyes
Upon a living attraction
Do not hurry
Take your time
How many gallant, hefty old men
Can you find anywhere?

My pin point accuracy
Unbelievably precinct and unquestionable
I am a young old man
I wonder how long I will last
I am a unique case
Of a man with no age
