His Fastest Pace Nowadays

His fastest pace nowadays does seem rather slow The passage of time on old Jimmy does show The town's best fifteen hundred meters runner fifty years ago Eventually time becomes everyone's foe He slowly walks with the aid of a cane on the street Who would believe that he was a marvelous athlete A National champion when in his life's prime It rusts steel and iron it is said about time Shoulders slightly hunched his balding head gray Physically he is one who has known a far better day For the Olympics he once qualified but due to injury could not compete Some setback in life most do happen to meet A great grandfather his wife and soulmate Kate died seven years ago And time it has become old Jimmy's foe.
