Jack And Ann

Old Jack has grown tired of Ann his old wife
He says that love has gone out of their life
They did love each other back when they were young
Long before she developed the nagging tongue

It has been awhile since they have had their last kiss
Six decades of marriage and not all of it bliss
Ann is no longer lovely to behold
Women lose their beauty as they grow old

Sleeping in separate beds under the one roof
That love is dead between them seems enough of proof
Of each other no longer with nice things to say
When love it dies it is always this way

Jack with his aged divorcee drinks in the local pub
And Ann with her old lover dines in the bowling club
Years ago between them love it did glow
Until apart in their ways eventually they did grow.

Sixty years under the one roof in time quite a span
But love is long dead between Jack and Ann
In their mid eighties their best days long gone
And time on their lives ever keeps ticking on.
