Age and Attitude Adjustments
From age one to three
Your life's barely startin',
But it kicks into gear
When you clear kindergarten.
Then on to primary, grade school,
And each stage in between,
'til you make it to twelve,
And then finally thirteen.
You've had sex once, you shave,
You think life has begun
When you burst out of twenty
And into twenty-one.
Then something horrible happens,
It's the end of the line.
OMG! You are thirty,
Whither, whence twenty-nine?
From thirty the decades
Fly by in a wink,
But before into dotage
You totally sink,
Try thinking of eighty
As the new forty-two,
And get up off your bum…
You've still got things to do.
