Hope I’m not too hard to spot.

How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?

I’m an old man seventy two

And roughly six feet tall

I might have shrunk a little bit

Cos that’s what old folk do.

---

My hair was brown

Now going grey

Although I’ve still got

Plenty.

---

I have my hair cut fairly short

Back and sides a ‘four’ cut.

Slightly longer on the top

Unkempt and badly parted.

---

I’m fairly fit despite my age

And haven’t put much weight on.

Odds on, if it’s summer time

I’ll have a pair of shorts on.

---

My face is fairly thin I think

But has a biggish nose on.

I haven’t got much facial hair

But can be lazy shaving.

---

I have a very mobile face

And quite expressive eyebrows

But mostly I’ve a far off look

And should pay more attention.

---

I’ve done my best

But don’t stick out

I blend with my surroundings

Hope I’m not too hard to spot

And one day you will see me.
