No Fool Like An Old Fool No Truer Words Said Poem by Francis Duggan

One cannot say of Fred he's a pleasure to meet
Or that he is quite humble or free of conceit
After a recent visit to his plastic surgeon he has dyed his gray hair brown
He fancies himself as a man about town
One not short of money he lives the good life
For a pretty blond in her mid twenties he has divorced his third wife
She has confided in her friends he is not much use in bed
And only for his money she loves ageing Fred
She is the same age as his grand-daughter one in her life's prime
And her lover Fred is battling the ravages of time
He has heaps of money and expensive gifts for her he does buy
And going to expensive restaurants and high class parties with him she does enjoy
He is convinced she does love him his ego playing tricks with his head
No fool like an old fool no truer words said.
