Ama
Here's the story
Of a lady
Led a life based on looks
Was a prom queen
When a teen
Proper posture but no head for books
Now it's later
And she hates her
Self yet self is pride
Too many years
Before the mirror
Looking at the out instead of inside
You can't buy back youth
Now matter what your wealth
To the wrinkled face of truth
Just say, "What the health!"
Here's a story
Of a lonely
Guy passed his prime
Never married
Or varied
His lifestyle or his time
Now it's later
And our saver
Of time has nothing to show
But a gold watch
That has lost touch
With fifty years he don't know
You can't buy back youth
Now matter what your wealth
To the wrinkled face of truth
Just say, "What the health!"
