Poetry: Ordinary humor

MOLLY MCFINN

Aging barmaid Molly McFinn

Had a penchant for younger men

When this Cougar went carousing

Raising cane and rebel rousing

She imagined herself a 'ten'.

Though she was sixty years and over

And near to pushin' up clover

She thought herself a cool young chick

And considered herself still lively and quick

But Molly McFinn was quite the lush

Her language made the sailors blush

Gray hair dyed a golden red

She lured the young men to her bed

After she filled them full of drink

And rendered them too drunk to think

She'd take them home to have some fun

And discard them when she was done

Poor Molly McFinn could never see

What would be obvious to you and me

That she had passed her youth and prime

To act her age

Was now past time
