Ick

If I were not so old and sick,

Would someone give a blessed lick?

If I were not so old and sick,

I'd fairly pen iambic

Or pick style of clever limerick.

If I were not so old and sick,

I'd wish quite much to jump and kick

Just like the ultracommon dik-dik.

If I were not so old and sick,

I'd likely move so twice-told quick,

I would pass up a word like kinnikinnick.

But I declare that if I came

Thus young and healthy (then not up a crick),

It would be quite a friggin' trick ...

And, yes, I could be such a gladsome prick.
