A Fools Remorse

A Fools Remorse
 When your 8 or 9 you hope they not think you a fool at school
 When your 14 or 16 you hope they think your too cool at the pool 
 When your 20 or 30 you play your jewel for a fool
 When your 40 or 50 you become a tool and claim to rule
 When your 60 or 70 your stubborn as a mule
 When your 70 or 80 you wake-up in a pool of your own drool
 When your 80 or 90, guess whose there to wipe off your drool
 You might have been cool, but now your just another old fool
 You should not have forgotten the golden rule
