I'm All Ears

Certain body parts get bigger as we get older.

I’m All Ears

 

By Elton Camp

 

When we become adults, most growth will cease

There’re places that continue their size to increase

 

The lens of the eye, bigger and bigger will it get

In middle age there’s no longer any focusing of it

 

To read fine print, farther and father we hold it away

No use, we will be forced to wear glasses some day

 

The nose is another body part that continues to grow

When old enough, we say, “Oh, if only that wasn’t so.”

 

Another place that will gradually grow bigger, I fear

Is the flap of the ear, which will bring to us no cheer

 

While even normal sized ears look quite bad enough,

Having them become huge when we’re old is tough

 

And while it is sad, but true, the belly may grow too

But unlike the other three, if it happens is up to you
