A New Pick-Me-Up

Need a damn pick-me-up, like a whole new me Where I'm actually mobile before a quarter of three Still can feed myself And things don't swell When I bend over, I swear and fart foul air

Take heart Jack, while ladies don't have this problem - well we don't show it - research has shown that "This keeps the mitochondria ticking over and allows cells to live. If this doesn’t happen, the cells die and lose the ability to regulate survival and control inflammation.” - Stay young and live long my friend...Maria :)
