How's Your Old Ticker Ticking

How's your dear old ticker ticking When's the last time you had it checked If it's been a while then get right to it Better safe than sorry by heck Us old guys need to keep on top of it Procrastination can be a deadly thing Knew a man who's now six feet under Thought life was just one happy fling We're all here for just a short while So be happy and smile as you proceed Make sure you live your life to the fullest As the years fly by at full speed How's your dear old ticker ticking Don't dare say 'I'm feeling pretty well' You may be feeling fine one day Then wham... it's the final bell!

You sure are a beautiful man, Happy Jack !. You are cheery and happy all the time, and have great advice. Hay I wonder why they call it ad vice? Never thought of that before.. any way back to you ! You did well with this poem. It should be on a poster behind every Gents cubical door. Best wishes my friend.
