Age Is Just a BS number

AGE IS JUST A BS #

The number of birthdays one has had
Can most accurately be calculated
It is said that numbers never lie
But... perhaps they can be manipulated

I tend to favour the metric system
It somehow makes me feel younger
The thought of getting old and senile
Is one thing for which I do not hunger

When I contemplate my age
At 77, I'm thankful to be alive
But it really makes my day to know
That on the Celsius scale I'm only 25
