Musical Emissions
Silly thoughts are filling my head
It's happening more often of late
Do you think I'm starting to lose it
Do all seniors suffer this fate
Nobody told me when I was young
That our mental capacities decline
To where we can't remember our name
Or can't do two things at a time
A sad ending to a productive life
Brimming with many successes
Not really how I thought it would end
Farting and making big messes
Guess we just need to laugh at it all
It's a part of the human condition
We really don't have much of a choice
So take pride in your musical emissions
Silly thoughts are filling my head
It's happening more often of late
Is this how my life is going to wind up
Do all seniors suffer this fate
