Kirk Douglas

Romance begins at 80

Romance begins at 80
And I ought to know.
I live with a girl
Who will tell you so.

I sit by her bath
As she soaks in the tub.
Then help her out
For a strong towel rub.

She likes that a lot
But before I tire,
It’s time to pour the wine
And start lighting the fire.

As the fire crackles,
We talk of the past.
We met over 50 years ago.
Did you think it would last?

The glasses are empty.
The ashes are red.
“Thanks for a lovely evening
But it’s time for bed.”

When you get to 90,
Cherish the memories you had.
Those are the only things
That can make you feel glad.


Issur Danilovich Demsky, de nombre artístico Kirk Douglas (Ámsterdam, Estado de Nueva York, EE UU, 1916). Actor y productor de cine.
