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.
