Once a dashing young prince of a man
A smile that would make the ladies swoon
Covered from head to toe in a bronze tan
The stature of a legendary British Dragoon
Feats of bravery and daring heard near and far
Winning the ladies hearts across the land
Many looked upon him like a star
His good looks and hard body went hand in hand
But as always, the case
A foe beyond his strength did rise
His slow fall from grace
An enemy did take him by surprise
It was neither man nor beast
An adversary that was so sublime
A fight he put up at least
The prosecutor of his demise
Was an enemy without pause
An opposition working overtime
Made him a mirror image of who he once was
The enemy of his was non-other than father time.
