Text Box: Many Years Ago I Was Told
This is What Would Happen,
What it Would Be When I Got Old,
Now How True This Has Been
*****************************
Another year has passed.
and we're all a little older.
Last summer felt hotter,
and winter seems much colder.
*****************************
I rack my brain for happy thoughts,
to put down on my pad,
But lots of things that come to mind,
that make me kind of sad.
*****************************
There was a time not long ago,
when life was quite a blast.
Now I fully understand,
about "Living in the Past."
*****************************
We used to go to weddings,
football games and lunches.
Now we go to funeral homes,
and after-funeral brunches.

Text Box: ******************************
We used to have hangovers,
from parties that were gay.
Now we suffer body aches,
and while the night away.
******************************
We used to go out dining,
and couldn't get our fill.
Now we ask for doggie bags,
come home and take a pill.
******************************
We used to often travel,
to places near and far.
Now we get sore asses,
from riding in the car.
***************************
We used to go out shopping,
for new clothing at the Mall
But, now we never bother...
all the sizes are too small.
******************************
We used to go to nightclubs,
and drink a little booze.
Now we stay at home at night,
and watch the evening news.
******************************
That, my friend is how life is,
and now my tale is told.
So, enjoy each day and live it up...
before you're too damned old!
