At Every Age, a Different Stage

At age three, it's 'Mommy, mommy'
  At twenty-three, I'm still carefree

At thirty-three, it's not quite all about me
  At forty-three, there's responsibility

At fifty-three, I'm starting to see
  At sixty-three, all night I pee

At seventy-three, retired and free
  At eighty-three, just you and me

At ninety-three, drink herbal tea
  ~At one-oh-three, I'm a mummy
