You are old, Uncle Joseph
You are old, Uncle Joseph,
your short stepping gait
has aroused much comment
in the media of late.
My steps may be short
but I still get along.
Like Johnny Walker
I'm still going strong.
You are old, Uncle Joseph.
If I err, please forgive..
Your memory, they say,
somewhat resembles a sieve.
Being forgetful isn't so bad
and let me tell you why.
It often avoids the embarrassment
of having to tell a lie.
You are old Uncle Joseph,
you look like a clown
on certain occasions
when you nearly fall down.
Young man, whatever you say
i can still pull a mighty hard punch,
so why not take an old man's advice
and leave straight away to have lunch.
