Auld Lanxiety

An Auld Lang Syne Happy New Year! Let me tell you ‘bout my body parts While in sobriety They’re as old as an old farts Oh, auld lanxiety (chorus) For auld lanxiety my dear For auld lanxiety We’ll try not to think ‘bout it For auld lanxiety And surely walking now’s a chore And surely society Will push me down on the floor I have auld lanxiety I no longer run about the docks With naïve gaiety Because my legs are just like blocks Since auld lanxiety (chorus) For auld lanxiety my dear For auld lanxiety We’ll try not to think ‘bout it For auld lanxiety We use to partake in many sports We loved variety But my parts are now the rusted sort Oh, auld lanxiety But I still can lend a trusty hand With propriety And we can drink just like we planned For auld lanxiety (chorus) For auld lanxiety my dear For auld lanxiety We’ll try not to think ‘bout it For auld lanxiety (fictional body parts)

Very cute and too bad we have to age. But there's no way to stop it cold. Too funny you are. Happy 2024!!!

Brilliant, David. Love it. Every year, I do not consider joining a gym… I reckon I’m now in pocket to the tune of about sixty grand. RESULT!!!

I liked this funny play on an old favorite song. It's too real to be taken lightly. With that said, I need to renew my gym membership Thanks.
