Lock, stock and barrel.

Came across longevity
just the other day,
something about the key
to unlocking the future
depended on the maintenance
of the lock today
that was made
yesterday.
Came across success
the other day
knew nothing
about a key.
Came across old age
in between days
I asked if they
had the time,
the reply was no.
Anyway, back to
cleaning the lock.
