Old Duffer-Ing
As we reach our so called golden years
Time seems to pass by so fast
We realize each day still has 24 hours
But minutes take 30 seconds to pass
A phenomenon known as old duffering
It's the time to fit in all we lack
No sooner it's the start of a brand new day
When it's time to hit the old sack
Where did it go, what the hell happened
Was a dapper young lad then poof
People are now asking if I need any help
As I stumble around quite aloof
The dazed look on my face could be why
People are always trying to help
Sometimes my trousers are on back to front
And I quite often forget my belt
Don't laugh, you'll all get there eventually
Though it seems like forever away
Surely hope you don't embarrass yourself
By walking around nude all day
