Aches and Pains

Aches and pains, aches and pains Is this what old age is about? What about sailing off into the sunset Instead we complain about gout It hasn't been bad at least not for me Been one of the fortunate ones Count all my blessings every damn night Each morn I welcome the sun Why me I ask, how come I'm the one Escaping old age symptoms Like gall stones, cholesterol, and diabetes A lifetime most can't fathom One day, that day will descend upon me Hope it's quick and painless A sissy I am and I always have been Perhaps I'll continue to be blessed Aches and pains, aches and pains Is this what old age is about?
