A Bit of a Devil
I'm quite a bit of a devil I am
Born with a big smirk on my kisser
But don't ever take me at face value
You can trust me like my sister
I'm honest as the day is long
You can trust me with your daughter
Well scratch that last one
Maybe you should take care you oughter
Guess I should knock this stuff off
Close to ninety I am I am
Not as agile like when I was sixty-four
Sometimes walk into door jambes
Well how about this dear friends
Marathons are still a possibility
Need a walker for the last mile or so
Still not beyond my capability
Well all in all still hanging in there
A model of sustainability I am
Hope to make it to a hundred or so
So far don't belong in a mausoleum
