Color Arrangement

There was an old man of eighty  years
who married a girl who was twenty.
Most men his age have run out of gas,
but this old geezer had plenty.

It wasn’t too long before his wife
thought herself pregnant, just maybe.
He took his wife to the doctor, who
delivered their first baby.

“How do you do it?” the doctor asked,
his amazement ever growing.
The old man grinned from ear to ear,
“Got to keep that motor going.”

The next year it was déjà vu
Their second baby came.
“How do you do it,” the nurses asked
“How do you stay in the game?”

“Got to keep that motor going,” he said
The answer was the same.
He was as proud as a father could be
basking in his fame.

When the next year again a baby arrived,
the nurse showed mild alarm,
as out of the doctor’s office she came
with the baby in her arm

“I see your motor is going again.
You must still have the spark,
but you’d better change your motor oil.
This baby’s color is dark.
