I'm One Hundred!
And so it is that on this day,
I can loud and proudly say,
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
I still remember the dust bowl,
and now I’ve reached this lofty goal.
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
And what do I get when I reach this goal?
My reward is a peach in my oatmeal bowl.
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
Even I was once a kid!
And I can remember what I did.
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
In hide and seek I outdid.
Nobody found me, I’m still hid.
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
Climate change is on its way.
It gets hotter every day.
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
There’s a reason why I still care.
Though, I don’t need to cut my hair.
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
Life was harder once for sure.
Oh, the hard work I did endure!
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
And new skills, now I must hone.
In order to use my new iPhone.
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
I’ve seen it all through my own eyes.
Everything I say is wise.
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
I’m the smartest one around.
Everything I say is sound.
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
But I can no more do a cartwheel.
At the very least, I’ll break a heel.
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
No, a back flip I cannot do.
I’ll break at least a bone or two.
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
My great-grandchild was born today.
In a hundred years, he’ll toot his horn to say:
I’m one hundred!
I’m one hundred!
