Age Does Not Matter

Age does not matter It does not matter As to who you are It comes in all ages His sister had a shock She went to her son Knocked on the door Then she rang the bell Being scared she called The police department As soon as the door opened She rushed inside Looking on the floor She saw her son laid On the hall carpet Shocked she screamed The police told her That her son was dead There was no blood shown A coroner will check the body To see the cause of death Her son was young His age only Forty-four See age does not matter

Yes, as we get older, age doesn’t make sense. Hey, when we were young…they were old, but then at this age it just doesn’t make sense… Then I remember back to when my uncle died at 25…way too young!
