ODE TO A VIBRATOR, Keats Updated for Seniors

ODE TO A VIBRATOR, Keats Updated for Seniors 

Although a Grecian Urn*
can be a thing of  beauty 
it's not something to which to turn
and   ask to do its duty.

For when  a  lady's over eighty
but  still feeling  matey,
she often  gets  tired of waiting
and   would   rather be dating

So while she'd love a caress
as well as some flattery
at least she doesn't have to impress
a handy  gadget's battery
 under her dress,

And no  matter how she may look,
she still  doesn't have to cook 
or else be clever, 
you see,
or  be concerned by someone's ED,
for it, there never is a never 
and  this  toy, IS a joy
 forever.
