Antiquating

I’m getting older and I’m getting fat, My memory needs repairing and my bones are stiff My feet are getting flatter and my bum is sagging down The lines are becoming groovier and my veins are standing out So I shall dream of: Warm bones and perfect health The colours of the rainbow And a nice cup of tea – Or maybe: A Lamborghini and a pink silk scarf Oakley shades and big red lips A dark brown-eyed lover serenading me Only thing I’d need is some energy
