A Former Koroit Beauty

With hair dye she cloaks time's natural gray She was a Koroit beauty but in Koroit did not stay When she was much younger in her physical prime But this is going back some four decades in time When she was much younger in the old Moyne Shire Town She was quite attractive her hair was light brown In Melbourne a divorced grandmother today From Koroit by car about four hours away She has put on some weight not quite the beauty she was years ago Time that ages everyone has become her foe Nowadays she does not have a man in her life She may never again be anyone's partner or wife A former beauty of Koroit in the Moyne Shire countryside With light brown hair dye time's natural gray she does hide Like all in their sixties her best physical years long gone And the clock on her life ever keeps ticking on.
