Willie At Ninety

On his 75th birthday
Willie Nelson ruefully said
'I have outlived my pecker',
I wonder, whither Willie,
fifteen years later,
as he approaches being 90?

He remains a prolific
performer and recording artist
-98 studio albums and counting- 
how does he find the humour? 
The grace? And the intelligence to survive?
However he douses now he will do it better
for having something new to seek,
and different tools and support to seek it with.

Poor Willie

On his 75th birthday
Willie Nelson ruefully said
'I have outlived my pecker',
but I hope his sense of humour
grace and intelligence survive-
whatever a man douses with
he will survive better
for having something to seek,
and the right tools to seek with.
