Just 60 Years Poem by Pleasant Dabbs

Just 60 years
Here come the tears
But don't look glum
You're still a plum
If I may preach
A freestone peach
In prime of life
A lovely wife
But time goes by
And fruits, they dry
The berries ooze
And apples bruise
Skin soft, once fair
Now wrinkles there
And pretty soon
A Sunmaid PRUNE
Don't be alarmed
‘Cause prunes have charm
They've good traits too?
There's a whole slew!
What's good you say?
Vitamin A
The next to come?
Potassium
How to describe her?
Got lots of fiber
Her traits r engaging
She's anti-aging
Her age comes back?
Don't get off track
And watch your tongue
She's f'rever young
She may complain
Of aches & pain
But golly gee!
She's now 60!
She d'serves a whistle
Or a flaming missile
To d'clare the feat
It's just so neat
That she's still here
Our friend, so dear
We love her, all
Yeah, she's a doll
Barbie's her name…
Her claim to fame:
She loves & cares
Like Teddy bears
Come vis't whenever
In any weather
You're welcome here
Our lovely dear
It's such (so great)
To know you, (Kate)
