Fun and Games or an Old Man’s Lament

I can remember in my youth kidding around with a woman
when after a while the fun and games would become serious,
while playing the games I began falling in love.

Now old and nearly fossilized, all I have are my memories
of the fun and the games and wish I could play them again
before I’m in the ground unable to have any more fun.
Or play any more games with women and love.
