As Old As

 A woman is as old as she looks it does seem this way

And a man is old when he stops looking as some like to say

These are well known cliches from the distant past

That over the Seasons of time seem to last

But for an old bloke in admiring of young beauty no harm it is true

As long as his thoughts he does not pursue

An old bloke is allowed to look but not look too much

But he is committing a serious crime if he chooses to touch

With women you stay out of trouble if you only do

What the law allows and expects of you

Just a few admiring glances is always okay

But all other thoughts in you do keep at bay

A woman is as old as she looks happens to be true

And that a man is old when he stops looking some credence is due.
