Another Year Older
A little less agile,
More aches and pains,
A little less hair,
More capital gains,
A little more girth,
A little less grit,
Another year older,
A little less fit.
A little less debt,
A little more doubt,
A little less certain
That I've figured out
What the reason for living so long's all about.
If I do find an answer,
And if I'm still here,
I'll let you in on the secret
On my birthday next year.
