Wrinkles Are Like Paychecks Every Two Weeks

when i was young ... fill in the blank as a matter of fact, after you borrow the car, remember to fill it back up says dad when i was young... i'm drawing a blank like the millions of chores i haven't remembered to do when i was young... BLAnk! BLank! Blank! my parents would kill me if they new my tongue swayed like a sailor when i was young... puberty was doubt when i was young... and wet behind the ears now life taught me how to dry off when i was youn- wait... I'm catching myself Doing the opposite of what i said i wouldn't do thinking back on youth when i was youthful i couldn't wait to be 21 and older now the time has come and i'm missing being 18 and younger
